Dear Glow Gang 💛
First, I want to sincerely apologize for the silence lately. Life has taken an unexpected turn for our family. My son, Nehemiah, has been diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia — a rare and life-threatening condition where his bone marrow no longer produces the blood cells he needs to survive.
We are currently in the fight of our lives as we prepare for what we hope will be a lifesaving stem cell transplant. As a mother, my priority right now is being by his side, advocating for his healing, and creating as much peace as possible for him during this storm.
While Scented Essence Candle Co. is still here — and will continue to glow strong — I’m taking a short step back from full operations to care for my son and navigate this intense season with faith and focus.
Here’s how you can help: ➡️ We are actively searching for a bone marrow donor. If you are between the ages of 18–40, especially within the African American community, please consider joining the registry at www.BeTheMatch.org. It’s a simple swab — but it could be someone’s miracle.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your patience, your prayers, and your support. When the time is right, I’ll return with even more passion, more purpose, and more products that bring comfort and light — because I now understand more than ever what that truly means. 🕯️
With love and gratitude,
