Stemming from first-hand experience comes our philanthropic mission at Oakmont Candle Company: a dedication to support research in the field of Post-Partum Depression. This all too common illness affects 1 in 7 women. Our hope is that contributions to Post Partum Support International* will empower women to seek the support and resources they need to overcome this illness.
For every "I hope" candle sold Oakmont Candle Company will donate a portion of the profits to PSI. Also, when placing your order, round up your order total for Post-Partum Depression!
*All money collected will be donated to PSI. "PSI is a non-profit organization whose mission is to eradicate the ignorance related to pregnancy related mood disorders and to advocate, educate, and provide support for maternal mental health in every community, worldwide."1
