For the Sake of Her Child

This year, he started school for the first time and she noticed that he was getting sick again. He told her that he got to clean his desk with a "little white wet cloth." She found out it was Clorox Wipes.

Since this was one of the items on the "back to school" list, she provided the teacher with a product that was not toxic and killed 99 percent of all germs. Along with the product was a note explaining why her son could not be exposed to anything that had chlorine or other toxins.

She wants to bring awareness to parents and teachers that cleaning products have many toxins in them and children can develop life-threatening illnesses because of it.
