This month, we will be taking a portion of our sales from Women’s History Month and putting it toward our first ever Bright Beginnings Car Seat Giveaway.
This car seat giveaway is something that has been brewing in my heart and mind for years and I am very excited to be able to launch what will be the first of what I hope will be many, many giveaways to come.
Every child deserves the best start in life. One of the most important items that every parent needs for their newborn is a carseat for a safe ride home from the hospital or birthing location. Car seats have become essential as they are the safest way for an infant, toddler, or young child to travel. Hospitals won’t even allow a newborn to leave without verifying a safe car seat is available for the infant and confirming that it is safely installed.
Through our Bright Beginnings Car Seat Giveaway this month, we will be providing one (1) brand new infant car seat to a family in need.
If you or someone you know is in need of an infant car seat but are concerned about the cost, please send an email to community@eight21candleco.com
To ensure we help those most in need, please apply only if there is a true need and if the baby is due in the next three months (there will be future giveaways). In the application email, please include a short message including the name, phone number, and email of the family in need. Also include the estimated due date for the child as well as any other information that you think would be helpful in making a decision.
Qualifications:
- Have a financial need
- Live in Frederick or Montgomery County, Maryland
- Currently pregnant and due in the next 3 months
That’s it! No purchase necessary.
We will accept applications and referrals until April 21st, 2023 and will choose a family April 28th, 2023.
Once we select the family, we will contact them directly to arrange the delivery of the car seat.
If you or someone you know is pregnant and in immediate need of a car seat and unable to afford one, please visit your local fire station, police station, state health department, or check with your insurance to see what resources may be available to you.
In light and love,
Suzanne
