Zazzler that donates all proceeds

When Zazzler Causes was first started I thought it would be an easy task. There are so many cause and awareness designs on Zazzle. Something has made things difficult however. That is keeping my sites Family Friendly. It turns out many designs incorporate foul language. Also many designs raising money for breast cancer research use terms for breast that are not at all family friendly. I want to call attention to a Zazzler that donates all proceeds to charities! On top of that her designs are family friendly.

Barbara has this message at the top of her shop.

"All proceeds will be donated to mesothelioma research in memory of my Uncle (12/31/08) , March of Dimes in memory of my grandson (11/12/97) & Breast Cancer Research in memory of Onelia Barcon 4/12/07."

I would like to say Thank you Barbara. Here are several products from her shop. Please help Barbara with her cause and make a purchase.

Wildlife Forever Fundraiser

Winning Art By C. Sun Grade 7

While reading the Zazzle forum today I got pleasant surprise. A shopkeeper posted the Children's State-Fish Art Contest winners art. Even if I could draw I would be impressed with these young artist! The contest is open to kids in grades 4 - 12. The children are using their skill to help raise money for a worthwhile cause. Here is a quote form the Zazzle shop.

"Wildlife Forever is America’s leading multi-species fish and wildlife conservation organization. As a 501(c) nonprofit charity, we rely on the tax-deductible donations and purchases of those with a passion for the outdoors. We’re hoping that is you.

Outdoor education for children is a big part of what we do and the State-Fish Art Contest is our signature program. You will be surprised at the quality of the winning artwork."

Crohn's Disease

Takes Guts, Crohn's Disease t shirt by vickiescreations

Crohn's disease is an autoimmune disease, in which the body's immune system attacks the gastrointestinal tract, causing inflammation. It is classified as a type of inflammatory bowel disease that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, causing a wide variety of symptoms. There is evidence of a genetic link in Crohn's Disease.

Todays featured designer knows more than a bit about this condition. Her own daughter suffers from it.

"My daughter has had several surgeries and procedures since her pre-teen years. Life is never easy for a Crohn's patient, even when it is under control.

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It causes inflammation of the lining of your digestive tract, which can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea and even malnutrition.

The inflammation caused by Crohn's disease often spreads deep into the layers of affected bowel tissue. Like ulcerative colitis, another common IBD, Crohn's disease can be both painful and debilitating and sometimes may lead to life-threatening complications."

Zazzlers In Need

Zazzler Causes was started to showcase Cause and Awareness related designs. I have been moved to make an addition to this. With so many artist involved there are sure to be Zazzlers who are disabled or have family members that are. In some cases Zazzle may be a way to help supplement their income. For others it may be their sole source. Some may have become unemployed and are having trouble finding work.

If you are or know of a Zazzler in need I may feature them here and on the Facebook Page. Leave a post here or on the Zazzler Causes Facebook Discussion post.

There is a stipulation. In keeping with my faith I post only family friendly designs and do not post anything pagan or otherwise anti-Christian. This includes non-biblical holidays.

Thanks and may Yahweh bless you!

Asperger syndrome

All the artist showcased until now have cause or awareness related designs. Today will be just a little different. I was recently told of a Zazzle artist Randall Klopping who has been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder though differs from others by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Symptoms include significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. Randall loves to create and says "As far as I can remember, I have always sought to represent things in a visual manner. A trait I suspect comes from the Asperger’s syndrome, a form of Autism without the speech impediment." As seen by his art he is very creative.

Hopefully Randall will forgive me as I would like to add a big part of his bio here.

In an accident in 1992 I was crushed by a pickup and car, which left me able to spend less and less time standing or sitting. Though often my disabilities make it difficult and stressful for me, my goals are simple in principle. My short term goals are to earn enough money for nessetities, a new mattress & memory foam pad for my bed, have safety handles installed so I can safely shower on a regular basis and to be able to afford to pay someone to clean the heck out of my home (haven't been able to keep up with cleaning for years). My long term goal is the most difficult, some might say impossible but I intend to truly build a life for myself and have the dignity that comes from fully supporting oneself with all my hard work.

You can help Randall reach his goals and receive some truly amazing works of art in return. To see more of his designs and to make a purchase please visit teknowizard's Store at Zazzle.

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS), also known as Disseminated Sclerosis or Encephalomyelitis Disseminata, is a disease in which the fatty Myelin sheaths around the axons of the brain and spinal cord are damaged, leading to Demyelination and scarring as well as a broad spectrum of signs and symptoms. MS affects the ability of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to communicate with each other.

Most people experience their first symptoms of MS between the ages of 20 and 40; the initial symptom of MS is often blurred or double vision, red-green color distortion, or even blindness in one eye. Most MS patients experience muscle weakness in their extremities and difficulty with coordination and balance. These symptoms may be severe enough to impair walking or even standing. In the worst cases, MS can produce partial or complete paralysis. Most people with MS also exhibit Paresthesias, transitory abnormal sensory feelings such as numbness, prickling, or "pins and needles" sensations. Other symptoms may include: Speech impediments, tremors, and dizziness are other frequent complaints. Occasionally, people with MS have hearing loss. Approximately half of all people with MS experience cognitive impairments such as difficulties with concentration, attention, memory, and poor judgment, but such symptoms are usually mild and are frequently overlooked. Depression is another common feature of MS. There is no medical cure for Multiple Sclerosis.

Tee Thyme, a Zazzle artist whose own daughter suffers from MS wishes to raise awareness about this debilitating disease. Please visit Tee Thyme's store at Zazzle for more products and to help raise awareness about Multiple Sclerosis.
