This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of UPS for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
I shared with you a few weeks ago about the the campign UPS has launged: #wishesdelivered. We talked about how this is a beautiful time of the year full of laughter and joy! This time of year can also leave you yearning to help others, provide something that isn’t there, and be there for those you love! We all have a wish!
This year for every for every wish that is submited through twitter or instagram using the hashtag #WishesDelivered (or you can visit the #WishesDelivered site) UPS will donate $1 to one of their charity partners (Salvation Army, Boys & Girls Club, or Toys for Tots) up to $100k.
As some of you know about 3 years ago we moved away from family for my husbands job. I am originally from Texas and that is where both my husband’s and my parents live. Due to some health issues that have come up in our family it isn’t always easy for my parents to come up and visit us and their three grandchidlren. If you know my parents, then you know how special their grand children are to them. They are their everything. When we lived close I had the most spoiled kids in town. We used to joke that my mom was their nanny (are we the only Fran Drescher fans?)… I would go to my mom’s house every day, and if I didn’t do that… my mom was there to help me with anything I needed! It has been a HUGE adjustment for all of us.
So what’s my wish? I wish I could give my parents plane tickets to take a trip up here for not only the holiday season, but my mom’s birthday, and my sons birthday (which happen to be only 4 days apart). I know it would make everyone’s day and leave smiles all around!
Submit your Wish today on twitter, Instagram, or the #WishesDelivered site and UPS will Donate $1 to one of their charity partners. Such a great way to help give back this season! Leave a comment and tell us your wish!
I would also love to fly my parents in for the holidays. Distance is so not fair… Happy Holidays to you, friend. HUGS!
Love your wish…and what a great campaign from UPS! Love this.
What a sweet wish! I remember when my parents moved to Arkansas from Houston, Texas. For many years, they would travel down to us, but now my dad’s health is fading to we have to drive to them.
i love when big companies give back! off to make some wishes!
So sweet… I love this campaign and I love your wish! I hope it comes true!
Love that UPS is doing this!!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Wishing you a very happy holiday season. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
