Around 1 AM this morning Leticia of Pixiemama Designs lost her house. Her entire house and ALL of her belongings. While she and her young son and husband were visiting family their house burned to the ground. It is believed that this was caused by a problem with the furnace. I spoke with Tish shortly after she received the news this morning and wow, what an amazing woman she is. Despite it all she is looking for the blessings. She spoke of how thankful she was that they were visiting family instead of being home. The fire chief said it only took 30 minutes from the time the fire started to the time the house was destroyed. Had Tish, her young son, and her husband been home they likely would not have made it out of the home. I am so incredibly thankful that they are okay. Unfortunately, they lost their family dog. Their two cats made it out, but the dog did not and as many know the loss of a pet is heartbreaking. In addition, Tish recently lost her cat to a rare disease.
Prior to all of this she had set up a charity kit to raise money for the SPCA. I want everyone to know that this woman, Tish of Pixiemama Designs, is truly one of the most caring people I know. She is always thinking of others. Tish is one of the few people I know I can call or message at any time of day for even a small problem if I wanted to or even if I just wanted to chat. She has always been there for me and I want to help to do something for her in a time when she and her family have lost so much.
Yvonne, Heather Manning, and Jaya started organizing a collab today in which the proceeds will go to Tish and her family to help them replace some of what they have lost. If you are a designer and you are interested in participating in this charity collaboration please let me know at tiffany at inspiredbydominic dot com or contact Yvonne, Heather or Jaya directly.
Additionally, if you like in Kansas (or Ohio where I am) and you have items you would like to donate to Tish and her family please contact me. I will work out a way to get items to Tish from nearby cities in Kansas and from southern Ohio where I am (Cincinnati).
They wear the following sizes:
Issac – 4T to 5T
Tish – Medium
Heath – 2X shirts
I will update this post with sizes as I learn more.
If you want to do something to help and you are not a designer or nearby please consider purchasing one of Tish’s many fabulous items in her store at Scrappity-Doo-Dah. You will get a wonderful product and you will also be helping out a family in need.
