Have you or your child ever experience severe chapped lips or cracked hands? My daughter and I both suffer from frequent chapping of our lips and severe dryness in our hands. If we don’t use Vaseline to manage our symptoms an ordinary skin condition quickly become unbearable. While we rarely go without Vaseline, there are families all over the world who are suffering from skin conditions that could be helped by using Vaseline. Unfortunately, many of these families don’t have access to the supplies they need for proper preventative care.
Vaseline is working to change that!
The Vaseline Healing Project is an aid effort in partnership with DirectRelief to provide dermatological care, Vaseline Jelly and medical supplies needed to help heal the skin of people affected by poverty or emergencies around the world. Their goal is to help 5 million people by 2020!
Vaseline has started several projects that will help them reach their goal. They are sponsoring dermatologist to go on medical missions to treat people affected by crisis or emergencies, developing training for community health workers to help properly diagnose and treat skin conditions, and donating Vaseline® products to people in need through Direct Relief’s kit programs and global network of healthcare organizations and clinics. But the greatest movement towards helping them reach their goal is encouraging YOU to get involved.
The easiest way you can become involved with Vaseline’s Healing Project is by doing what you already do when you purchase Vaseline from Walmart. For each Vaseline Jelly or Lotion product you buy, a portion of the sale go towards supporting Direct Relief to deliver Vaseline Jelly, medical supplies and dermatological care to people affected by poverty or emergencies. The goal is to send up to one million dollars by the end of 2016!
With so many Vaseline Jelly and Lotion options available at Walmart,
you have dozens of ways to contribute to The Healing Project.
The Vaseline Healing Project also hosts the Build Your Own Relief Kit on their website as another way you can join their mission. Today Mom Does Reviews joined by donating $11 in antibiotic ointment, soap, hand sanitizer, and rubbing alcohol. These may seem like small contributions — but to a family in pain, they mean much more. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people can transform the world.
You can join The Healing Project by building your own relief kit too. The entire process can be completed in as fast as a minute, but i encourage you to take the extra time to learn more about each donation.
