It’s February so naturally love is on our minds here at Mare Goods HQ. The problem is, the love we celebrate in February is usually represented as romantic love. For us, it’s so much bigger than that. Sure, Valentine’s Day can be about our significant others. But it’s also about loving our friends, our families, our co-workers, our kids and – of course – our horses!
(I’m an unapologetic fan of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette series…but #theMareMare will always get my final rose)
This year, we wanted to find a way to show love to people who really need it. We know, we know: the pool of people who need love and support is ocean-sized right now.
When we heard about the tornadoes that devastated parts of Kentucky in December, we were heartbroken. All that loss and suffering. We knew we wanted to do something to support the people of Kentucky who’ve been so lovely to us over our many trips there for shows, expos and events over the years.
(Side note: if you’ve forgotten about those tornadoes, you’re not alone. There’s a lot to process these days!)
So we did what we do: made a thing!
We created this limited edition sticker for a couple of reasons.
We want you to show the badasses in your life how much you love them and we want you to celebrate your own badass self.
And we want to support the people of Kentucky – talk about some badasses! – as they rebuild from the kind of natural disaster that could happen to any of us.
When you buy a sticker for $8, all proceeds go to support The Kentucky Agriculture Relief Fund, a donation initiative managed by the Kentucky Farm Bureau Education Foundation. Donations will be used to support farmers and agribusinesses in the affected areas.
So this year, skip the oversized teddy bears, boxer shorts covered in huge hearts, and boxes of waxy chocolates. Share the love with a sticker!
There are so many little ways to make the world better. So many little kindnesses that lighten the weight a lot of us are feeling right now.
