DRESSES READY FOR SHIPMENT!

I need your help!  I currently have 134 dresses packed and ready for shipment (and more waiting to be packed and shipped).  These dresses are headed to Cambodia with missionaries that have requested a total of 10,000 dresses from Dress a Girl Around the World.  There is great need in Cambodia to lift up the girls in prayer and to bless them with their own handmade pillowcase dresses!  A new dress for a little girl who has never had one will raise her self esteem and make her feel pretty.  It is a selfless act of love to make these dresses for a girl you may never meet.  It shows her that she is loved.  By others and by God.  We are seeking to provide God's best in the dresses we make.

I estimate that it will cost about $60 to ship these dresses the the port in South Carolina where the group will load them with all the others coming in from all over Dress a Girl sewers onto the ship that will sail to Cambodia in the next few months.  Please pray for the girls of Cambodia and if you can help us with any of the cost of shipping, please click on the "DONATE" button on the right of this page.  100% off you donation will go to helping us bless little girls.  Thank you.

Let's give them smiles like this!

Excited to share Dress a Girl!

I am honored and excited that I have been invited to speak to the Devon Rotary Club in Milford, CT tomorrow morning!


First off, I love to share what Dress a Girl Around the World is doing and what people here in Connecticut can do to help! 

Secondly, I love the thought of help in fundraising!  I understand that this is what the Rotarians do.  I dream of all the girls we can bless & dress with additional funds to purchase more supplies, machines and help with shipping costs. 

To date, I have been happy to cover many of these myself but I can only do so much (and I haven't exactly kept track of what I have spent :).  Don't get me wrong, many have come forward with individual monetary donations and I am extremely grateful.  However, it only goes so far and Dress a Girl Connecticut is growing so fast!

I love what we are doing and am thrilled that people want to help!  Even if no fundraising comes out of tomorrows meeting, I will be glad to share how we are blessing little girls all over the world.  Who knows what will come of it?  All it takes is one person sharing it with the right person to start some momentum!  And already we are gaining speed!

I can't believe it has been nearly one year to the day that I first heard and became immediately involved with Dress a Girl Around the World!  What a year it has been!  Wish me luck tomorrow!
