Ahhhh yes….. it’s back to school time! It is an exciting time for many kids but for so many other kids, it’s not met with the same fun expectation of getting new school clothes and getting to pick out their backpack for the year. It’s often met with the stress of not being able to afford new clothes,  not fitting in, and not having what “all the other kids have.”

According to an article written in Patch.com, “More than 40 million Americans live below the poverty line, and of those facing such financial hardship, children are disproportionately affected. Nearly 12.6 million children under age 18 live in households with poverty-level income.”

MainStreet Fashion Show

in Parker Colorado at a place called The Studio@ MainStreet

When I was growing up, Parker was a little sleepy town just down the road from us. Over the past years, Parker has boomed and is no longer that little town but a thriving city!

Parker, CO

This October, fashion hits the streets as the MainStreet Fashion Show takes over! Heather Dyamond, producer of the MainStreet Fashion Show tells us all about it!

What is the inspiration behind the fashion show?

We are calling our show “The MainStreet Fashion Show”. We were inspired by the stories of designers and models whose lives were financially and emotionally devastated during the lockdown in Denver. 

We noticed that while things were chaotic in Denver,  things were sort of normal in the surrounding towns. Denver being so big was not capable of dealing with a crisis like this as were most cities not equipped to handle it. So we thought one day why not try to move the fashion bubble from city to burbs. From the city streets to the main streets if you will. Every town … Read more!

The Urban Angels, making a difference through creativity

The Urban Angels

When we had our boutique on Bannock Street, I had the pleasure of meeting and becoming dear life-changing friends with Peggy and Mary, two women with some of the biggest hearts that I’ve ever met. They walked into the shop and it was like they brought the sunshine with them! As I began to know them over the years, I saw how much they love serving the community, not just locally, but internationally. They began to rub off on me and inspire me to serve my community.

How did you ladies become the “Urban Angels”?

We were dubbed The Urban Angels by a friend who lived in Downtown Denver and observed our work with the homeless and shared our love for the city of Denver and those who call it home.

What is the mission of the Urban angels:

Our mission is to bring encouragement and hope to those in need, especially children around the world.  We have been lucky enough to give our dresses and care packages to children in Denver, Haiti, Honduras, Peru, Guatemala, and the Philippines.

What can others do to serve?

Start in your own backyard and don’t feel like any gesture is too small to … Read more!
