I love Wilmington.
Like, love it.
It became my go-to coastal retreat in college.
Gah…I can still remember calling my roommate from a gas station pay phone to “check-in,” and tell her I was totally fine on my own doing my thing. Would you believe me if I told you she didn’t sound totally convinced…
By the way, I passed that pay phone – IT’S STILL THERE – one of the last times I was in the city (just last month, y’all).
I heart that city hard.
And, oh…the stories I could tell.
And did I tell you that I was recently in the running for a job in the Port City?
Yea. I was really excited. It wasn’t meant to be, but it still makes my heart flutter to think about it.
Enter Florence
And I am so, so thankful for this opportunity.
And because, I too am a business that wants to help out, even if in just a small way, I created the “love me some Wilmy” design.
Part of my effort in the last few days has been researching local organizations based in Eastern NC who have a history of positively investing in the areas most in need of help. That way the collaborative effort of good-intentioned business leaders would make the most impact.
Donations to Wilmy
But here I am…on this side of Florence, in the position to work with different businesses who are working on plans to give back to the areas – to the people and animals – impacted by the hurricane’s damage.
