"It’s with bitter sweet thoughts and emotions, I have decided to close Battle Boutique."
Dear Friends,
Thank you for all your support over the past 6 years for Battle Boutique and the mission behind it. Your support is the reason the boutique even exists! I could never express my gratitude enough, to show you how much you have meant to me and how much you will always mean to me. I’m humbled and grateful that I’ve been allowed to run Battle Boutique for the past 6 years.
It’s with bitter sweet thoughts and emotions, I have decided to close Battle Boutique. While I’ll always have a passion to serve the cancer community, the time has come for me to find another way to serve.
Many things have changed over the past year and God has recently shown me that now is the time to release the boutique. It was never mine to begin with. It has always been God’s and the community’s boutique. You have given me the opportunity to serve a vulnerable community and I will never take your care and support for granted.
Forever Grateful for YOU,
Charlene Kimmel
Founder of Battle Boutique
