So! Donations are complete 🥳 and many a photo were forgotten to be taken along the way! 😅💓
Huge personal bonus: despite his intentional frown in all photos, Rayne was moved by getting to see first-hand what a genuinely free community store like the Braddock Free Store 15104 offers the Pittsburgh area community.
Please consider supporting them and similar organizations in any way possible, and THANK YOU for all of the donations that made this and the personal donations possible ✨

Sadly, and for the sake of transparency regarding the state of things in the US: this will likely be the one and only year we get to run the Misfit Movement Warm Clothing Drive.
Between gas, laundromat costs and miscellaneous other costs, this drive ran roughly $400+ that we did not have to spare. (For those that have asked, THIS is why Nightlightning cannot have a physical shop.)
While it's about getting the clothes to those that need them, and we're going to focus on that aspect, the fact is that, without sponsors, this project is just not sustainable for a small family business, especially given that most of our decor, jewelry and art pieces are priced well under $50.
>> Please feel free to contact me if anyone would be interested in hosting me as a vendor or discussing sponsorship opportunities to make next year a possibility. Nightlightning Creations was built on upcycling and the idea of paying it forward, and we want to do what we can to give back.
Thanks again, Pittsburgh! 👋🏼💛
