Recently I was contacted by Andy from Andy Monsters about two of his new shirts:
and
Awesome t-shirts, right?
Well, what makes these t-shirts right out amazing is that 100% of the proceeds go to charity! The Smile t-shirt’s proceeds go to Smile Train and the Wishing You Well t-shirt’s proceeds go to The Water Project
Smile Train performs surgeries for children born with cleft palates and The Water Project provides clean drinking water in 3rd world countries.

Biggy To The Rescue (Girls) is cute- what a great idea
from the water project In the next 24 hours, diarrhea caused by unclean water and poor sanitation will claim the lives of 4,000 children” – OXFAM
smile train The cleft surgery your donation provides is a true, modern-day medical miracle: it costs as little as $250 to give a desperate child not just a new smile, but a new life.
My favorite shirt from Andy Monsters is the Coloring Book Franky Monsters. They’re all very cute though!
From The Water Project I learned that nearly 1 billion people in the world do not have access to clean drinking water.
One thing I learned from The Smile Train is that they are unlike many charities as they only focus on one thing, which is solving a single problem: cleft lip and palate. I’ve known about cleft lip & palate for quite awhile & do know someone who has it, however, I never knew there was a charity that focused only on this.
Happy soon to be birthday, hope a hamster shaped cake comes your way!
This is the shirt that I like best:

I like the Bonfire shirt the best! Love the monsters! Thanks
From the Water Project site, I learned that 1 billion people don’t have access to clean drinking water! 1 BILLION? That is way too many!
From the Smile Train site, I learned that 500,000 children have already recieved the free surgery.
From the water project website
Bottles used to package water take over 1,000 years to bio-degrade and if incinerated, they produce toxic fumes. It is estimated that over 80% of all single-use water bottles used in the U.S. simply become “litter.
I like the Wishing You Well shirt the best.
From the Water Project: 100% of the proceeds will be donated to build wells to provide clean water in foreign countries.
This is important because of the very high mortality rate associated with dirty water.
From the Smile Project: Regardless of culture or background, we all speak the universal language of smiling. Some children, however, are born with cleft palates that affect them physically and emotionally. It only takes a few hundred dollars and less than an hour to change a child’s life forever.
As a nurse who worked pediatrics, it makes me hurt to see kids in other countries who can’t get surgery for such a comparatively easy to fix congenital defect.
I would love to win this. I like the Coloring Book Franky (Guys).
Thank you for the chance

Classic Skelly is my favorite. My husband would love it!
Something I learned on the Water Project:
“Dirty, diseased water leads to a cycle of poverty, sickness and an inability to develop. This is needless suffering.”
Something I learned on The Smile Train site:
“Clefts are a major problem in developing countries where there are millions of children who are suffering with unrepaired clefts. Most cannot eat or speak properly. Aren’t allowed to attend school or hold a job. And face very difficult lives filled with shame and isolation, pain and heartache.”
I like the The Andy Monsters Band (Girls).
From the water project I learned that 100% of your donation will be used for water project construction. Very nice!
WOW from the smile project I learned that The good news is every single child with a cleft can be helped with surgery that costs as little as $250 and takes as little as 45 minutes.
colouring book franky and bonfire girls i have never seen these before they are adorable i will deffinately be back to buy more
I like the Surfs Up (girls) & Classic Skelly (girls)
OMgosh. I had no idea that 1 out of 4 deaths for kids under age 5 were from water-related disease. That’s so sad.
I had heard of the The Smile Train before. I had no idea that it only costs $250 to do the surgery.

From the water project I learned that “In the next 24 hours, diarrhea caused by unclean water and poor sanitation will claim the lives of 4,000 children”

At The Water Project I learned that “nearly 80% of illnesses in developing countries are linked to poor water and sanitation conditions” which is a very scary thought!
At the Smile Train I learned that “the good news is every single child with a cleft can be helped with surgery that costs as little as $250 and takes as little as 45 minutes” which is both good news and very impressive!

Our family now uses reusable water bottles in hopes to help a bit!
