As a parent of a child attending Sandy Hook Elementary during the tragic shooting on December 14, 2012, we continue to mourn and remember our community’s children, administrators and educators whom we lost and will forever keep in our hearts.
All of our companies, under the DBP & Associates, Inc. umbrella donate a percentage of our overall profits to causes helping and aiding children in our community as well as causes we feel passionately about in helping children here and abroad.
This year, we were able to donate to a number of the organizations listed below. Some we were happy to donate in the name of our Sandy Hook Elementary Community.
Like many older newlyweds, our dreams of becoming parents took my husband and I down a fascinating road in order to build our family. Our children, Ethan and Isabella, joined our family at 6 months and 10 months from Almaty, Kazakhstan. Our daughter Aeryn, adopted as a special needs child, arrived at the age of 2 1/2 years old from Fuling, China. We are thankful everyday for the blessings our children give us on a daily basis. We are also very aware of the children left behind to languish in orphanages around the world. It is for this reason we donate a percentage of our profits annually to the below worthy children's charities.
Know that by purchasing through The Persnickety Bride, you are helping us give children around the globe and in the US the availability of a nurturing and therapeutic environment, proper nutrition, and warm clothing, while at the same time assisting US families with children emotionally traumatized by neglect or institutionalization.
