Portion of the proceeds goes to Still Breathing Movement Inc. - a non-profit founded by Minister Tynea Cooper based out of PA, represented at the South Carolina chapter by April J. Armstrong. The mission of The Still Breathing Movement Organization brings about a change in both thought and awareness and breathes life into all those willing to receive and build again. Minister Coopers vision is passionately dedicated to restoring those who have experienced some form of traumatic event. “In order to LIVE you must first be able to BREATHE” is the motto for our organization. The overall dream is to meet the needs of others right where they are while also helping in the heart of the community, allowing people time and grace to experience healing from the inside out. Instilling the importance of being intentional about your inner healing and building a foundation that others can build on is the goal. Being able to heal and then reinforce healing in another is the power of exchange through the Still Breathing Movement and that is the ultimate benefit.
