From my heart to your home, these fundraiser candles were created in collaboration with a dear customer-turned-friend, Erica. As the founder of True by Katie, a one-woman small business rooted in community and non-toxic living, I’m honored to help support Erica’s inspiring vision: a faith-rooted playgroup for children with special needs, created in honor of her son, Cash.
Available in two beautiful styles, these candles feature my Embrace the Matcha scent—one of Erica’s personal favorites. It’s a clean, refreshing blend of green tea, citrus, and warm sandalwood that feels both uplifting and comforting.

A Message from Erica, Founder of God’s Little Lights
“God’s Little Lights was born from a deeply personal place—a mother’s love and a desire to create a space where every child, regardless of ability, could feel seen, celebrated, and connected.
As the parent of a wonderful special needs son named Cash, I longed for a community where he could build friendships and where I could find encouragement and support from other parents walking a similar path.
That’s when God’s Little Lights came to life.
This playgroup is more than just playdates—it’s a faith-rooted gathering that nurtures friendships, celebrates milestones, and provides a welcoming space for children with special needs and their families. We come together to share stories, laughter, and love while reminding one another that we are never alone.
Fundraising efforts help provide meaningful faith-based crafts, door prizes, and special gifts that bring joy to the children and enrich our gatherings.
Thank you for helping God’s little lights shine even brighter.
At the heart of it all is a simple mission: creating a community filled with faith, fun, friendship, and belonging—for our children and for us as parents.”
The Cause: God’s Little Lights
These candles were created to support something truly special. 40% of proceeds from every candle sold will be donated directly to God’s Little Lights to help fund playgroup gatherings, crafts, and joyful community experiences for children with special needs and their families.
