🚨Announcement & Business Update🚨

We want to share a long overdue update about our business and our family. Many of you know that in March 2024, my husband suffered a massive stroke that left him paralyzed on the left side of his body and unable to use his primary arm and hand—an especially difficult loss as he was our candle maker.

Over the past months, we have been focused on therapy, healing, and adapting to a new normal. We are grateful to share that he has made meaningful progress. He is now able to stand and take assisted steps, though his arm has not yet regained function. Recovery is a long journey, and while we remain hopeful, we are still unsure of the timeline or the final outcome.

As we navigate this chapter, I will be shifting my focus to being his full-time caregiver. With this in mind, we have made the heartfelt decision to close our business for now while we take time as a family to regroup and reimagine our path forward. We do fully intend to return—just in a new and refreshed way.

Thank you for your kindness, patience, and unwavering support during this incredibly difficult season. It has meant more than you know.

With gratitude,
The Williams Family

Dear friends and customers,
We value your support and announce an important change to our small business. Darryl (Will) experienced a near fatal medical emergency. We are currently fighting and he will need extensive rehabilitation and care for the next several months. Our business operations are pauses until we can regroup. You may contact us here or email but the website will remain down for awhile. Please keep him in your prayers.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of a life-changing… Shanelle Sivels-Taylor needs your support for Urgent Support Needed for the Williams Family
