#MELOGivesBack Aug 2020

I know it’s past mid-Sep, but I’ve just remembered I hadn’t really updated you on my donations for Aug.

As part of my little give back project, I donated a total of $92 from August’s sales to Two Good Co. and Food Bank Singapore. I’m acutely aware of how lucky I have been and am through this pandemic, but also realise that there’re so many out there who are really having it rough. I’m hoping this little effort on my part can come together with everyone else’s to help those in need.

As always, I’m really really grateful the support from YOU throughout this! I honestly couldn’t have done any of this without you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so very very much!

For September, I’ll be donating a portion of my sales to Bush Heritage Australia. Bush Heritage Australia not only buys and manages land, they also partner with Aboriginal groups, acknowledging Traditional Land Owners and the wealth of knowledge and culture they’ve developed through generations. Read more about what Bush Heritage Australia does here.

As the seasons change and the days warm up, I’m reminded of the horrific Black Summer bushfires that ravaged Australia just last year, right before the pandemic struck. We had barely entered Spring when severe fire warnings were issued for the warmer regions of the continent. And the devastating fires along the western coast of the US that’s happening now. There’s no denying global warming and climate change, and I want to do what I can, as soon as I can.

As much as I can, MELO handmades will continue to give back. So if you have any suggestions for charities or organisations I can support, drop me a message on any of my platforms!
