Periwinkle Pretties
Thank you for checking out our jewelry collection. A portion of all earrings sold is donated to individuals/families currently affected by cancer.
The Why.
We're three sisters who were inspired by our mom , she was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in November 2018 and we wanted to do everything we could to ensure she received every cancer treatment option available. We believe others deserve the same. We know this journey all too well unfortunately. Our mom went through chemo, radiation and then surgery to remove a portion of her esophagus, we are lucky to have her here today. She recovered by 2020, and then suddenly mid 2020 we lost our step-dad/dad to cancer. It is a terrible disease, affects too many families.
First of all, for any family that has experienced a cancer diagnosis, you know how difficult it can be. Appointments, scans, driving - loads of driving, more appointments, questions - so many questions, and research. Wow, how we researched. That's what has brought us here. Cancer is expensive. Time off work, fuel, alternative therapies - that's the big one for us. We believe in alternative therapies and are using them with our mom. However, they can be SO expensive. But, if there is a 30% higher success rate of beating cancer - you're damn right you need to try it.
We donate 25% of every pair of earrings sold - to help families that could use some financial assistance during this difficult time. Just writing that gives me goosebumps. Everyone should have access to alternative therapies, parking passes... - everyone deserves a fighting chance. So, please know that by supporting us here, you're supporting others along their journey as well. And we'll do our best to keep you updated with the details.
Why Periwinkle? It's the color representing esophageal cancer.
As of Feb 2021 we have been able to donate over $2,000 to an Okotoks Family who's 14 year old son is currently fighting for his life. We've also been able to help a few other great initiatives and fundraisers. Thank you so much for making this possible.
