Dressember 2019

Jillian and I participated in a fashion challenge this December called Dressember where we wore a dress every day in December... but it was not just for the fun of a fashion challenge... we did it to raise money to help end slavery around the world.

We decided to wear a different dress every day.

There is still time to give!

Our goal is to raise $2,000 to help end slavery... as of the morning of 12/31 we are around $500... can you help us reach our goal?

 The easy parts:
-The why... people are worth doing far more for then wearing dresses!
-Doing it with Jilli, it was  fun thing to do together
-When the staff at RMH heard what we were doing several of the staff member wore dresses with the the week we were there which was so kind and meant a lot to Jilli and I 


The hard parts:
-Fundraising
-Finding a dress to work for every day of our month including things like PT days
-Taking a picture daily... Brent was out of town part of the month, our selfie stick died the third day we tried to use it... so some days Lydia took the picture and other days it was me trying to take the picture. Thankfully when we were at RMH,  staff and friends helped us!And at my parents people helped us.
-Taking pictures and posting them online every day is challenging for me. I don't have instagram, I rarely post pictures of myself, let alone daily. Some days I really got in my own head about how I looked and what people thought about me. I was not expecting that going into this.


But we are doing it again next year if you want to join us!
