With the holidays approaching many forget the true meaning of the season. People are to busy running from store to store in search of the perfect gift to give a loved one or friend. Meanwhile children have begun creating their extensive wish list. This brings me to a whole different scenario leading to those less fortunate children who’d be more than happy to spend time with their family this holiday season instead of receiving a gift.
One of the greatest problems our children suffer in society roots from abuse and neglect. Due to these unfortunate circumstances many children have been separated from their families.
For this reason I decided it was time to make a positive change so I united a few of Puerto Rico’s top influencers in support of the children’s shelter El Hogar Niñito Jesús to celebrate the activity “Ribbons of Love”. This shelter is a safe haven for child survivors of abuse, neglect and abandonment. This home restores their innocence providing an environment of love and moral. As influencers we united to provide the children with a fun and joyful experience. There is such a great power that comes from unity and together we brought donations, gifts and lots of love to these beautiful children. Words cannot describe the joy I felt in my heart watching the smiles on their little faces as we sang and played. Their happiness was the best gift I could ever receive.
With all my heart I want to thank all the amazing influencers and brands who united to make this special activity a reality; Kokoloom, Curvy It Girl, Piccolo Mondo PR, Tatito Tales, La Mafia PR, Ultranimator, Gabilon, Yanira Gisselle, Edgar Rene, IYN Beauty Reviews, Kaisa Kiasa, Verdanza Hotel and Johnson & Johnson.
This holiday season I urge all of my readers and followers not to get caught up with the buzz and remember the true meaning of Christmas is love so give more love this season. Remember as you enjoy your gifts and gourmet meals others don’t have the same privileges. Make a difference by giving to those in need. Let’s begin an endless chain of love. In a world where hatred, intolerance and pain exist remember love is our strongest weapon. The simplest act of kindness can make the greatest difference.
xoxo Be you, Be Lovely
