HOLIDAY WISH

A Set of Candles for Kylie to continue shining a candle for her daughter

Posted Dec 1, 2020
Kylie has experienced a lot of loss in the past year and has been working so hard to provide for her daughter and herself. Ever since her oldest daughter passed away she has burned a candle for her every single day and goes through a lot of them. A gift card for Kylie to purchase candles so she is always able to burn a light for her daughter would be a beautiful holiday gift this season.

Kylie is 42 years old and lives in CO

Kylie and her sister entered foster care after loosing their father to suicide and enduring physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect by their mother. They were eventually placed with their paternal uncle. She and her sister went on to be the first in their family to both graduate high school and college. Kylie went on to work in the social services field, helping others be safe and successful. Kylie's 9 year old daughter was killed in 2019 in an egrious event and she has one surviving daughter. Kylie loves art and nature as healing modalities in her grief.
