Normally, a charity is chosen by member's of the group, however
this launch is special as they invited their supporters/bidders
to choose the charitable organization for them. They chose JDRF.
According to the JDRF website at http://www.jdrf.org,
they are "the leading funder and advocate of of type 1 Juvenile
diabetes worldwide. The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes
and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes
is a disease which strikes children suddenly and requires multiple
injections of insulin daily or a continuous infusion of insulin
through a pump. Insulin, however, is not a cure for diabetes, nor
does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications which
may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and
amputation."

There are two members within the eBay boutique community whose children
are afflicted with Juvenile Diabetes and they allowed the Boutique
Angels to share a little about them. Mitchell, 10 is the son of
Jodie, eBay ID:kjncm. He dreams of being a soldier some day, but
right now that isn't a reality for him as his diabetes is sure to
keep him from doing so.

| Jamie,
almost 4, is the daughter of Adrienne, eBay ID: adreenie5. Her father
also has diabetes and she, along with her "if I can do it,
you can to" attitude serves as a reminder about how important
it is to stay on top of the disease. Meet both of these little wonders
by viewing the auctions on eBay by searching "Boutique Angels
Charity". Their auctions include handcrafted items such as
children's clothing, jewelry, accessories, art, etc...there is something
for everyone! |
