| Elemis is a luxury British skincare brand which claims to reach over 6.5 million people per year. I worked for this brand for 2 years as a Territory Manager covering the Southeast US. Shortly after returning from maternity leave in June 2015 my daughter was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma Cancer.
She received an emergency spinal surgery to remove part of the primary tumor which compressed her spine and caused paralysis. She then received 8 cycles of chemotherapy for the metastasized disease on her liver, lungs, kidney, skull, lymph node and bone marrow. While she was in ICU I communicated with Elemis regarding the emergency situation. HR, regional manager, and even the President of the company replied with prayers and well wishes. My extended FMLA request was then denied and I received a termination letter in the mail. The past year has been incredibly difficult! Not only did I lose the income for my family, but my daughter did not have private health insurance while receiving cancer treatment after I was fired. I wrote a letter to the owner and did not receive a reply. I have fought hard to get her to the best cancer center in NYC and we continue to travel every 3 months for follow up. The least this company can do is make a generous donation in support of childhood cancer research which only receives 4% of national funding. Gold is the color of childhood cancer awareness! Help us spread the word. Elemis promotes their “pink” products every October for breast cancer awareness month. I hope to reach as many of their 6.5 million consumers to raise awareness for not only my child, but all of the children in need of our voice for change! It is time to make this right, Elemis GO GOLD! Please sign and share. Facebook.com/ElemisGoGOLD twitter: @elemis_gogold instagram: elemis_gogold |
