Community

Story is Yours prides itself on being a business that is involved with the community.  Below are some of the causes / organizations that we support through donation of product or money.

Did you know that 10% of the total sale price from all ''The Train with No Name'' Personalized Books are donated.  For Canadian orders, donations are made to the Sandra Schmirler Foundation and for US orders, donations are made to March of Dimes.  Both these incredible organizations support babies who are premature or ill. 

In ''The Train with No Name'', your child helps save the circus, proving that "you don't have to be big to be important''.  Just like babies in neo-natal care who are so small and so important!

''The Foundation is passionate in its commitment to be the leading provider of funds to support the care of premature and critically ill babies in hospitals across Canada.''

''The mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.

From the Heart Auctions is a ''worldwide community of vendors working together to help those in need''.  Every month, a multi-vendor auction is held on Facebook and ALL proceeds go towards a specific cause or community. 

To ensure accountability, receipts, pictures and other proof of donation is located in the photos section of the Facebook page.  Note that every three months, there will be a clearly indicated vendor auction (non-charitable) where the vendor will receive the winning bid as a thank you for participating in the numerous charity auctions.

For details on how to bid or donate in an upcoming auction, visit the From the Heart Facebook page.

''They said Ruby would not likely survive the next hour... We were then able to nurse Ruby for the next two hours, the most amazing yet most devastating two hours of my life, the whole time forming the strongest bond possible while watching her heart rate gradually drop... Ruby was placed on my bare chest where she rested her tiny little head with her hand on my heart and grew her wings. A moment I will treasure for the rest of my life, she was right where she belonged, on her Mummy’s chest where I have no doubt she felt my unconditional love for her... Rest In Paradise my precious gem. Too beautiful for this world.'' 

Ruby`s Rainbow is an online auction that raised funds for Ruby's family to pay for her final expenses, and Heartfelt, a charity offering the gift of photographic memories to families who have experienced stillbirths, premature and ill infants and children.  An incredible $8250 was raised!
