Years ago, Third+Bird gave us a platform to sell our beautiful beeswax candles. As my home life has increased with the number of kids we’ve welcomed to our home, my candle making has slowed, but never stopped.

We’ve already donated $2000 USD to Mercy In Action this year.
Grateful to be able to give back.

Words. This journalists ability to paint a picture of a scene I have never seen, grips me. Inspires me to continue to make candles, so Mercy In Action can continue to do what they are called to do.

Thank you to Global Giving for the grant, and all the individual donors who helped Mercy In Action raise money after last weeks Super Typhoon Mangkhut damaged our clinics' roofs in the Philippines. We have already sent funds over and the midwives are starting the rebuilding process so they can get back to work assisting pregnant women to have babies! Bless you all, thank you!

It’s been a long year since I’ve melted wax to make candles as a fundraiser for Mercy in Action. Seems like now more than every they need physical love (aka money) to get them back on their feet, allowing them to care for mothers and babies.

I’m not opening orders up yet, but if you’d like to directly donate to them, head to their webpage or let me know if you’d like to order in the near future and I’ll start an order log.

200 tealights in the making. So grateful for the love and support of Krista Heide Art.
Her reclaimed wood art beautifully compliments the natural aroma of beeswax candles.
