Richmond and New York, respectively, but they’ve formed a partnership on the side to assist families in Belize. Alden tells how Alden Skirts (sold at Wardrobe at 401 Libbie Ave. and www.aldenskirts.bigcartel.com) started: “In March of 2012 I went with a group of women to Belize City to learn and help a surgical team with World Pediatric Project. I fell in love with the people of Belize – unassuming, positive, trusting and open. I wondered what happened to the families after the surgeries. With post-op care it had to be hard for the mothers and fathers to work. Work in Belize is hard to find, and malnutrition is a problem. “That propelled me to find Ana Velasquez, a talented seamstress and mother of 14-year-old Selena. WPP operated on Selena to make her spina bifida more comfortable. Alden Ramsey ’00 sold her skirts at the Village Green Milagro Garel at WPP Belize Fair in April 2014. shared with me that Ana had lost two jobs – sewing for a resort and a housecleaning job – due to medical appointments for Selena. “I shared with Ana a skirt design I had been working on in hopes of giving her work. She was elated at the opportunity to work with her sewing machine at home, where she didn’t have to commute two hours and could be close by in case Selena needed her. “Through Alden Skirts LLC I hope to create an employment opportunity for more families in similar situations. I want to give them flexibility and compassion for their situations, while also giving them structure and purpose. I want the fragility of income to be one less thing they have to worry about when having a sick child.” Alden is a marriage, family and child therapist in Richmond, and Meg works for Ippolita Jewelry in New York.
