Giving is Awesome! but decisions are hard…

As promised I am posting for the “Giving is Awesome” outcomes tonight. I said I would post on Christmas eve, and with 5 mins to go it is still technically Christmas Eve! So I better write fast!

Drum roll please…

After many heart tugging nominations I have made a decision and the winner is… Robin Kandel!

Robin was nominated by her supervisor and friend Liv. (who has a $200 print credit coming her way.) Both Robin & Liv work at an amazing local organization Bradley Angle House. Bradley Angle provides emergency shelter for healing to women and children escaping domestic violence, an important issue close to my heart.

Liv’s nomination was beautiful, and brought a tear to my eye, I just knew as soon as I read it I wanted to give back to this family. There are many details I am not sure are appropriate to share in such a public place, but I am very much looking forward to meeting this strong woman and her family!

Here is a little of what Liv wrote in her nomination:

“Robin works hard... She could easily take her years of experience, education and skills elsewhere and make way more money. But she remains committed to help women fleeing domestic violence and helping them towards their road to recovery. I know she and her family struggle to make ends meet, let alone have “extra money” to spend on some thing like this.  I think this would be an amazing gift to give back to someone who has given so much of herself to help others.

Robin and her family will receive a photo session, full proof set, custom designed coffee table book of images and a CD with personal printing rights all on the house.

I want to thank everyone who nominated families this year. I had a terrible time choosing, but I had to go with my heart on this one.

To all of you now, a very Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
