As you all know, Prom nights, Sweet 16’s and Quinceañeros end up becoming an essential part of every teenage girl’s life. Unfortunately, some girls and their parents don’t have the means to purchase a dress or accessories for these very special events. That’s where DonateMyDress.org comes into play. This organization collects formal dresses, jewelry, shoes, makeup and even perfume for girls in need of them. Isn’t that a great idea?
On April 5th 2013 I was able to donate over 20 formal dresses to the South Florida Chapter of Donatemydress.org. I got my friends and co-workers to participate and the response was absolutely fabulous! Nothing feels better than giving back to the community. Do you have anything you’d like to donate? A pair of shoes that are collecting dust? Maybe an old bridesmaid dress that you swore you’d wear again but obviously never will? That dress might actually make one girl’s Prom fantasy a reality!
Testimonials from DonateMyDress.org
“The year of my high school prom, I was homeless and living in a car or sleeping outside on the street. I had nothing other than my (very few) school supplies and the clothes on my back, but I knew if I kept going to work and school, I would be OK. I just wanted a real prom and when I picked up the flier for the Princess Project at school, it made all the difference. Because of them I was able to have a real prom with a dress, accessories, and makeup! There’s no way I would have been able to do that before and I can’ t thank them enough for making my year a little more enjoyable.”
“I am finally getting back on my feet after a long battle with my health and subsequent unemployment due to health problems. It has been very important to me that my daughter not work while she’s in school so that she can focus on schoolwork to make the most of herself. I would not have been able to send her to prom if it wasn’t for you. You gave her literally everything she needed —a beautiful dress, shoes, jewelry, cosmetics, and even a limo certificate!”
