Buy a Candle & Help a Family

My friend Rachel's family has fallen on some hard times and needs some help. Through a string of unfortunate events, her parents are about to lose their home...the house in which they are raising 5 of Rachel's younger sibs. Rachel's mom runs her own business making and selling soy candles and candle-making kits. THE FAMILY IS NOT ASKING FOR A HANDOUT. They are requesting that if you've got some disposable income, please buy a candle. Or a kit. Or some tea lights.

The ebay store is called Kindred Harvest Family Store, and you can bid or use the "Buy It Now" option. Or go to the Kindred Family homepage; the links are very small and up at the top, under the big tripod banner. But there's more selection on eBay.

Pick up some scented tealights: a dozen for 6 measley bucks! Check out the scented body frosting. Pagans, check out the cool set of dragons blood palm wax pillar candles, 2 for $15. Heck, make your own candle with one of her scented candle kits for $7.

Again, the family isn't asking for a handout, just a hand. Rachel's mom works for minimum wage and her dad suffered a paycut. They got behind on their house payments, and they need some help so the bank doesn't foreclose. If you've got the dough, you might think about buying a candle. That's all I'm saying. And thank you.
