Why I Need Your Help for My Birthday

Hi friends!  Today’s post is one I’ve been anxious to write for MONTHS now.  I’m so excited to finally be hitting publish on this, but I know I’ll need your help.  About six months ago, I started to think about what I wanted to do with What Nicole Wore for my birthday.  That may sound materialistic or self-centered but I assure you it’s not.  This year for my birthday I want to be an advocate to end child hunger.

And before anyone’s like, “ummmm that’s not possible,” I get it.  We can’t end childhood hunger in one month.  What we can do is make a huge difference.  One organization that does this is Blessings in a Backpack and for the whole month of August {plus this bonus week!}, I’ll be fundraising for them.

Kentucky blogger, What Nicole Wore, shares what she wants for her birthday: to tackle childhood hunger and raise money for Blessings in a Backpack. Find out how you can support the Louisville based charity! // chino shorts outfit, casual outfit ideas, affordable red lipstick, colourpop makeup
