Rays of Sunshine! Lights for Lauryn!We are very excited about our "Rays of Sunshine" candle line. Every year we will pick different children's organizations to raise proceeds for. We have started with the Sturge-Weber Foundation for Research. Sturge-Weber Syndrome is a congenital, non-familial disorder of unknown incidence and cause. A congenital facial birthmark and neurological abnormalities characterize this rare syndrome. The most apparent indication of SWS is a facial birth mark or "Port Wine Stain" present at birth and typically involving at least one upper eyelid and the forehead. Seizure activity is the most common early problem, often starting by one year of age. There is no known reason for these "Port Wine Stains". We have a local child in Trenton, Michigan, Lauryn, who was born with Sturge-Weber. She has an older brother and sister that do not have SWS. Lauryn has seizures and mild strokes. Know that proceeds from every candle that you purchase helps the research of this very rare disease. Our candle for Lauryn is called "Lights for Lauryn" and is angel wings scented. (Vanilla & Baby Powder - Off White in color) Only $16.00 Each - Two Wicks! www.twowomennwax.com twowomennwax@comcast.net (734)752-5922

I know Lauryn and her family because Lauryn was in my son Owen's class at Trenton Co-op a couple of years ago. She is a beautiful girl who has been very ill. I want to commend Chrystal and Billie Jo for supporting Lauryn and her family's effort to find a cure for her and the other children who suffer from Sturge-Webber Syndrome. It's great to help a local family while supporting a local business! Leanna Bronni Arbonne International Bronni Vision Boutique

Hey Laura, Thanks for purchasing a Lights for Lauryn. As Leanna said, Lauryn is a very sick little girl. Any money raised to help this rare syndrome is soooooooooooo wonderful.
