clothing for a change

At this time so many changes are occurring in our world.  With these changes come new brands of clothing that reach out to people and places undergoing these changes in not such a good way. It is very important for us to donate and buy these products to help others just like ourselves in need. So, for this week I hope you all can learn and gain something special from my column. When i first found out about clothes for change by seeing Product RED clothing at GAP, I was so into the new movement of helping others I created my own organization Bracelets for Diabetes. I make handmade friendship bracelets with all kinds of cool designs and colors (even beads!). ALL the profits go to the American Diabetes Organization (ADA) located near my hometown, in Washington, D.C.. I was inspired by two of my good friends, who live with diabetes everyday as well as the Jonas Brother, Nick Jonas. Now a days, there are clothing companies that help MANY MANY MANY types of organizations. I know at Urban Outfitters there are donations made for music, suicide helplines, and eco-friendly organizations. A new site i just discovered was Threads for Thought after I saw a girl at my school wear one of their cute t-shirts! So, check it out! www.threadsforthought.com
