Calling all helpers. Sparkle needs volunteers for two big days.

This Friday at 5 PM: come help us set up for the Lovin Me 911 fashion show. Saturday is the show. Friday we make the magic happen.

Bring a friend. Bring your heart. If you can give a few hours, message us.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude Blondingbyedith!

🤍 A chance to give, a chance to win 🤍

Healing after sexual assault takes time, support, and access to care. We’re raising funds to help three survivors pay for therapy services, and thanks to your kindness, we are already halfway to our goal. 🫶🏼

To help us get closer, I’m hosting a raffle! Every ticket purchased helps support their continued care.

🎟️ $10 per ticket
✨ One winner will receive $180 worth of hair products PLUS a $200 gift certificate—a total value of $380!
📅 The raffle runs through November 2, when the winner will be chosen.

To purchase tickets, send your payment to:
💚 Cash App: $blondingbyedith
💙 Venmo:

Please include your name, phone number, and the number of tickets you’re purchasing in the payment note.
Example: Edith Z. | 509-###-###X | (3 tickets)
Three tickets = $30

These survivors deserve compassion, privacy, and support as they heal. If purchasing a ticket isn’t possible, sharing this post is another meaningful way to help.

Thank you for showing up with love and helping remind them they don’t have to walk this journey alone. 🤍

Estamos a mitad de camino, y es gracias a ustedes.

Estamos en $1,500 de nuestra meta de $3,000 para mantener a tres mujeres en terapia EMDR con la terapeuta en la que confían por seis meses más. Son mujeres de aquí, de nuestra comunidad, que sobrevivieron lo peor y están haciendo el trabajo duro para sanar. No pueden hacerlo solas, y gracias a ustedes, no han tenido que hacerlo.

Todavía nos faltan $1,500 para llegar a la meta. Nuestra subasta sigue abierta hasta el 14 de noviembre. Un masaje personalizado de 60 minutos de Barefoot Beauty Massage, a elegir entre piedras calientes o ashiatsu, y una bolsa Gucci. Lo último que supe, el masaje iba en $90 y la bolsa en $60. Pujen en los comentarios o mándennos un mensaje.

Si pueden donar $25, donen aquí: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/organizations/sparkle-initiative. Si pueden pujar, pujen. Si pueden compartir, compartan. Cada centavo va para su sanación.

Gracias por estar con ellas. Sparkle Initiative.

We are at $1,500 of our $3,000 goal to keep three women in EMDR therapy with the therapist they trust for six more months. These are women right here in our community who survived the worst and are doing the hard work to heal. They cannot do it alone, and because of you, they have not had to.

We still need $1,500 to finish this. Our auction is still open until November 14. A 60-minute custom massage from Barefoot Beauty Massage, winner's choice of hot stones or ashiatsu, and a Gucci purse. Last I heard, the massage was at $90 and the purse at $60. Bid in the comments or send us a message.

If you can give $25, give here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/organizations/sparkle-initiative. If you can bid, bid. If you can share, share. Every bit of it goes to healing.

Thank you for standing with them. Sparkle Initiative.

This is not a vanity post, and we do not take any credit for this. This is 100 percent about gratitude.

Last year, Yezmmin Ramos, a founding member and board member of Sparkle Initiative, wanted to bring warmth to the kids at Benton Franklin Head Start where she works. She noticed a number of kids did not have warm coats. We hustled a little, and we bought 30 new coats for them.

This year we made a few posts and messaged a few friends, and you stepped up. YOU donated enough money to buy 60 brand new coats from Costco, and tomorrow we will have the privilege of delivering them to Ben Franklin Head Start.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for keeping this project alive and expanding it this year. This is all because of you!

Big news we are proud to share. Our very own Maria Ayala has been nominated to The National Society of Leadership and Success at Eastern Washington University.

Education is one of the four pillars of Sparkle Initiative, and Maria lives it. She keeps learning, keeps leading, and keeps lifting up the next generation of social workers with her.

Congratulations, Maria. We are so proud of you.

Thank you. Because of you, we reached our goal for kids' coats, and we reached our goal for Sue's Turkey Drive. And we are halfway to our goal for therapy for three survivors in our community.

Every gift, every share, every bid matters. Thank you for showing up for your neighbors. We are so grateful for you. With love, Sparkle Initiative.
