Following the extreme devastation caused in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, the DotDotSmile community came together to donate, collect, and distribute nearly 300 dresses to the young girls affected. Dresses were sent in, both new and used, from merchandisers and customers from across the country.
The dresses were distributed to girls in the southern tip; Rockland and Port Aransas, the greater Houston area, and the Golden Triangle. The confidence a little girl feels when she is wearing a DotDot is so much greater when it is the nicest, if not the only, dress she owns. Although heart breaking, it was also heartwarming to be able to give a little something to those who have nothing. Especially considering the storm delayed the start of school, and most lost all of their clothing, including uniforms.
In addition to the Dress Drive, SymonSaysSmile Boutique collected additional donations to sponsor Smile Bags, with a dress, school supplies, and a gift card to a local eatery. These monetary donations were enough to sponsor Smile Bags for 6 young girls in the greater Beaumont area.
