The Orange colored ribbon on this tree shows awareness for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is a complicated and progressive disease that attacks the central nervous system, (brain, spinal chord, and optic nerves). It affects 300,000-400,000 people in the U.S. Symptoms include numbness, fatigue, poor balance, poor mobility, blurred vision, pain, memory loss, heat sensitivity and more. In more severe cases, a person may become paralyzed or blind. Though there is no cure, there are treatments for the various symptoms.
Every year Faline creates a tree to support a charity/organization of her choice. In this way, she helps to share awareness of the horrible issues that many of us have to face in today’s world.
Handcrafted in Wooster, Ohio, this tree is cut from 3/4” thick wood with colorful print on the front and a description on the back. Buy it for a friend or add it to your Cat’s Meow collection. It sets neatly on a mantle, shelf or desk. Or perch it on your wainscotting or the trim above your windows or doors.
