Because I Have Healthy Babies
If you watched Oprah yesterday, you would've learned about a childhood skin disease called epidermolysis bullosa, or EB. It is a disease which, from birth, causes the skin to blister and form sores which cover the entire body. Eventually the hands and feet web from all the scarring, and most of the body must be covered with bandages to prevent infection. Most people with EB don't live beyond the age of 30, and every moment of every day is extremely painful. Currently, there is no cure. The Satya Foundation is selling a butterfly pendant necklace(sufferers of EB are called 'butterfly children' because their skin is as delicate as a butterfly's wing) and donating 100% of the proceeds to the EB Medical Research Foundation. I'm so grateful that I have two healthy boys, and I cannot imagine how hard it must be to watch your little baby suffer from such an awful disease. If you'd like to buy yourself a pretty necklace and donate money to a worthy cause at the same time, visit www.satyajewelry.com.
