"Been there, Done that, Got the T-shirt"

I've been researching different ways to help make a difference and ive come acrossed some amazing causes and a great way to support these causes is to buy the shirt. 


Needless to say my closet is quickly filling up with these awesome shirts!


Here are some great shirts, that support some amazing causes--
Love146-an organization that rehabilitates young women and children who have survived the horrors of sex trafficking. They are educating, counseling, loving these girls and seeing them re-integrated into society with confidence and healing. Wear the FREE shirt as a declaration of gratitude for your freedom and as a prayer for those still in bondage. 
$20
(this shirt is available at love146.org )

"I love ME!" in French. You are beautiful. This design is an encouragement for women to speak out their confidence. In an age where comparison runs rampant, let the world know that you love YOU! A portion of the proceeds from this shirt will go toward TO WRITE LOVE ON HER ARMS, an organization presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery. ($45.00)

 "The Joy of Reading!" Did you know that an estimated 20 MILLION Americans are functionally illiterate? If you know the joy of reading, save up for this chic shirt and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to READING IS FUNDAMENTAL (www.rif.org) - who are committed to nurturing literacy not only in students and underprivileged, but in parents as well! ($45)

Love Proudly is available at certain Old Navy Stores, however if you cant find a store close to you, they will ship to your house. Old Navy is launching a line of rainbow-themed Pride shirt, and will donate 10% of the proceeds to the It Gets Better Project $14.95


Love IS Louder
This movement strives to amplify the momentum of other inspiring online campaigns and invite anyone who has felt mistreated, misunderstood or isolated into the conversation. We are here to raise the volume around a critical message -- that love and support is more powerful than the external and internal voices that bring us down, cause us pain and make us feel hopeless. ($25)

It Gets Better

Many LGBT youth can't picture what their lives might be like as openly gay adults. They can't imagine a future for themselves. So let's show them what our lives are like, let's show them what the future may hold in store for them. Donate $30 and get this cute shirt to show people it gets better

"Not Guilty"
The Afghan Women's Justice Project will send the proceeds to the nonprofits helping Afghan women and kids in prison. One shirt purchase buys a child's milk for a month or school supplies for 10 prisoners. ($25)
