BRACELETS FOR HAYIAN AND YOLANDA VICTIMS

MY NINE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAD THIS BRILLIANT IDEA TO MAKE THESE BRACELETS AND SELL THEM TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE VICTIMS OF TYPHOON HAYIAN/YOLANDA.
THEY ARE $3 EACH OR 2 FOR $5. ALL PROCEEDS ARE GOING TO MY COUSIN'S RELIEF FOUNDATION IN THE PHILIPPINES TO PROVIDE CLEAN WATER FOR THE VICTIMS. 

EACH BRACELET SOLD WILL PAY FOR X11- 4 GALLON PURIFIED WATER.

I FEEL SO BLESSED FOR HAVING SUCH A THOUGHTFUL AND CARING LITTLE GIRL!!!
