About the Company
Two mothers, Kari Hunt and Ruth Ellen Heaton, who met in the process of adopting their sons in 2001, founded A Mother’s CharmTM in September 2002. Their boys were good friends living in the same orphanage in Russia. Relishing the “firsts” and other special moments with their newly expanded families, these career women and new mothers, who have a passion for philanthropy, decided to make another life altering change.

They wanted to create a business that would provide mothers, especially adoptive mothers, a way to capture and converse about some of their precious motherhood moments, and make a difference in the world around them.

Utilizing the web, A Mother’s CharmTM (www.motherscharm.com) is building a sense of community and charity. Ten percent of profits are donated to Buckner Orphan Care International, an organization that provides humanitarian aid to children globally. Additionally, the majority of profits generated by the Shoes from Around the World Philanthropy Line will be donated to Shoes for Orphan Souls. For additional information, please contact:
