A Mother’s Love is Priceless
I received this wonderful Mother’s Day gift from Jordan Deatherage of Barkely who recruited me to be a March of Dimes Mom a few months ago. It is a necklace appropriately named “Mother’s Love” from Red Envelope, who’s donating 10% of each one sold to the March of Dimes (valued at $50).
Red Envelope is owned by ProFlowers, who have also generously set up a March of Dimes charity. If you order Mother’s Day flowers through www.proflowers.com/marchofdimes, $10 of every order will go to support March of Dimes and its programs in communities throughout the United States.
So go ahead, buy your mom a beautiful gift that, along with the love that you send, comes with “thanks” from all those the March of Dimes will help.
