💜💚A Little Baking Can Make a Big Difference. 💜💚
I hope you don’t mind me getting a little personal today.
As many of you know, Toothache Bakes has always been about sharing love through homemade treats. Today, I’m asking for your help in showing that same love to my family during one of the hardest seasons we’ve ever faced.
My Stepfather Chris is currently battling severe and extreme health issues and is receiving treatment at KU Med. Life has changed so much for them, and the financial strain has become overwhelming.
My mother Michelle is their only source of income as an MA at Watkins on KU Campus, but she is also carrying so much more. She works hard every day to keep their home running, takes care of all of their household responsibilities, and serves as his full-time live-in nurse, supporting him through his health journey around the clock. On top of everything, she lovingly cares for their two sweet pugs, Lucy and Frank.
Because of this, I’ve decided to use Toothache Bakes to help support them during this difficult time. ❤️
To celebrate my mother and I birthdays for August and September, 🍪 From August 1st through September 30th, 25% of every bakery order placed with Toothache Bakes will be donated directly to help them with household bills, travel expenses, medical-related costs, groceries, and other necessities while they focus on his health and recovery.
But I wanted to make this fundraiser even more special…
One of his favorite things is anything chocolate, peanut butter, or Reese’s. 🥜🍫 So for any order placed in this flavor, 50% of the proceeds from that order will go directly to helping them.
Some examples include:
🍫 Reese’s cakes or cupcakes
🥜 Reese’s large cookies
❤️ Reese’s cheesecake desserts
🍪 Chocolate peanut butter treats
…and any other delicious chocolate + peanut butter creations!
Whether you order a custom cake, cookies, cinnamon rolls, brownies, bread, or one of his favorites, you’re doing so much more than supporting my small business — you’re helping lift a family during a time when they truly need it.
If you’re unable to place an order, sharing this post, saying a prayer, or helping spread the word would mean more than you know.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every order, every share, every kind word, and every bit of support. Your kindness helps more than you realize.
With love,
Toothache Bakes ❤️
“Every treat. Every share. Every prayer. Every little bit of love makes a difference.” 💜💚
