Lewiston Strong - Maine Sachet Fundraiser UPDATE & How To Support the Recovery Efforts Going Forward

In the aftermath of the tragic shooting that occurred in our neighboring city of Lewiston, Maine on October 25, 2023, many people were left wondering how they could help support recovery efforts. Although our hearts are broken by this tragedy, we have also witnessed the incredible kindness and love of our community.

To aid in the recovery efforts, we designed a sachet specifically for Lewiston. All profits from the sales of this sachet were donated to the Maine Community Foundation, an organization that has set up a fund to support recovery efforts. We sold out in less than a week and we are SO GRATEFUL to all of you for making that happen. Click the links below to learn more and to donate directly. 

In his autobiography, Nelson Mandela said, "Part of being optimistic is keeping one's head pointed toward the sun, one's feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death."

Let us keep our heads up and continue moving forward, even in the face of tragedy. With love, Kim (Owner & Artisan, Perry Home Naturals)
