After collecting all of your generous tips for almost a year, I stopped. I still
had not chosen a charity and did not want to get overwhelmed with more donations.
I was very thoughtful. I knew what I wanted in a charity and I knew I would not
hand over money to just anyone. It was a given that I (we - thank you everyone for
your tips)) would be giving to a school for young children in need. I wanted to
help kids in their formative years specifically, knowing that this is a prime time
to inspire and build confidence in children. Coming from a home of two true to the
core artist parents and reaping the benefits of endless and overflowing arts and
culture, it was important that this organization be progressive and educating
through art. I wanted to see kids in an environment that encourages higher
learning and where the students are flourishing on a daily basis. I was adamant
that whoever was the recipient of this donation that they walk the walk being 100%
dedicated. I thought about all the details, my wish list so to speak: The kids
eat organic food, they go on field trips, they have an amazing library, the
parents are fully involved in their kid's learning... Well believe me when I say, if
you ask for it you just may get it (especially if your intentions are good) because I
did. Down to the organic food.Para Los Niños is a blessing. It is the most wonderful school, childhood development center, community outreach that I know of in Los Angeles. Get Waxed whole-heartedly embraces them as one of our family. We hope you will too.
