1 Dress 100 Days!

Some of you may already know about the project that Me, my sister and my friend are going to be starting... But for those of you who don't, I'm going to tell you.

We are going to wear 1 dress (2 of the exact same dresses so we can wash them) for 100 days.

Why are we doing this? Because we are raising money to help victims of human trafficking. Human trafficking is an issue that God has layed very heavy on my heart... I desparately want to do something to help.

Think if it kind of like a marathon... You know how people donate money when people run marathons? Well this isn't much different... just think of it like a marathon with a dress :)
We chose the idea of wearing a dress for 100 days for a few reasons....
It's something not a lot of people think of! It's definately a different kind of fundraising....
It's a reminder! The dress is a reminder to us who are wearing it that we need to be praying for these people... a lot of them children... who are put into human sex trafficking.

Let me explain this a little more...
We got this idea from people who did it previously....
The uniform Project: http://www.theuniformproject.com/year1/ Where a woman wore the same dress for an entire year to raise money to get kids in other countries into school.
1 Dress 100 Days: http://misselainious.com/the-100-days/ where a girl wore a dress for 100 days to raise money for orphans.

If you didn't click the link, you are probably still wondering why we would want to look the same every singe day for over 3 months... We wont! We will look different every single day! I will post pictures of my sister and I every day during the 100 days.

I will be setting up online paying methods so you can donate right online.

The reason I'm writing about this now is I really want whoever reads this to consider donating to this cause. Our goal is still being decided but I will post it soon!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask :)
