Babby Day
Today is Babby Day, where we celebrate all the mothers and fathers who have brought life into this world. Life is a beautiful thing, and we haven't done anything to appreciate it - but now we will.
But first, before we get into what items and pets are available for today, I want to tell you something. In the first few months of Aywas existence, I came across a rant thread made by Springdragon. In it, he told the Aywas community that his cat needed an operation, and that he didn't have the money - so the cat was going to die. Upon seeing that, I decided to run an event to raise money for Springdragon so that his cat may live. By selling some custom-colored hybrids, we raised the money. Springdragon's cat is still with him, and Springdragon's life was changed by all of those who participated. Our community had the power to do this.
See, our site is not like the others. We read the forum threads and care about the people behind the accounts. One of our users, Dana, has kept the Aywas community informed of a tragic situation throughout the year and a half Aywas has been online - she has PCOS, a reproductive disease that kept her from conceiving. But months later, something amazing happened: with the right medical attention, she was able to conceive a baby, no matter how much it seemed she would not be able to. But her fight is not over. In rant threads, she has told the community there are financial problems in her life that will make her and her husband's life tough.
Just like with Springdragon, our community has the power to help her, as she has helped the community. Our goal, beyond all other things, is to help people. We are not a faceless company that only cares about money. We are a family, a community, and when one of our community members needs our help, and the time is right that we can offer it, we help.
Can we help everyone? No - we would go broke, and we would be unable to help anyone. However, if we can help one person, then we're reaching our goal. If we can help two, that is even better. In the future, we'll help three. Four. Five. Making a difference in the lives of a few people is a huge part of what we stand for. It is what makes us different. It is what makes our community special and caring. We are a family, and we help each other.
Today is about honoring the parents onsite. All of you are special, and have brought life into the world - or are about to, and that's a beautiful thing. We chose today for Babby Day, the day that Dana told the Aywas community she'd have her baby shower, but this day is about all of us.
We are releasing these special Baby Hybrid alternate linearts:
One costs $25.00 via PayPal, and upon submitting your transaction, you will get a Pacifier item to submit your custom. The customs are "metal-only," no lineart changes. Why is it cash only? Half of the proceeds will be given to Dana, to help her, like we did for Springdragon, and half of the proceeds will be given to the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Association, Inc. so that we can reach beyond our community and help as many people as we can, no matter how small our contribution may be. Anyone who purchases one of these customs will know they made a difference in the life of one fellow member, and in the lives of many unknown people that deserve their help.
However, as you may have noticed, this is not all we have released today. In the Seasonal Shop are a whole bunch of awesome new items and pets, available for BP:
Pretty pretty pets!
Some of the many awesome items in there, including maternity clothes!
In addition to this, if you visit the Advent Calender at any time today, you will pick up a Babby Bag. In it, you'll find an item to change your active pet randomly into one of the Baby Day pets (Babby Potion), a ticket to the twenty five Pacifier raffles (Pacifier Ticket), and a Derp Breeding Coin so you can submit for your own babbys. C:
Neat stuff inside!
If you are a mother or father who has brought a baby into this world during the time Aywas has (and will be) around, feel free to contact us for a Pacifier of your own. You are all special to us.
Today is a day for joy, and to celebrate life - and most of all, today is a day for hope... For any of you out there who struggle with PCOS or any other fertility problem, look at Dana and know that you can succeed. You can bring a new life into this world. There is always hope, no matter how bleak the situation looks. All of us here at Aywas offer you our best wishes and our support. You can do it.
Happy Babby Day!!

I'm new here, and I have to say, seeing something like this is pretty awesome.
Both my sister and I have PCOS and the problems associated with it, so it's nice to see a site I go to donating to one of the lesser-known sorts of syndromes. ouo <3

I like seeing things like this so much. PCOS is so little known to people, most doctors hardly even know more than what the pamphlets tell us. I've delt with it all my life and its such a pain >

XD This is AWESOME. A good friend of mine has a form of FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) and she may never be able to conceive, either. I have a son who is 18 months. ^^

This is one of the reasons I love Aywas. The staff listens to use, and we are just like one big family. Congratulations to all the parents of Aywas and Dana. Happy Babby Day everybody. <3

Oh, dear lord. That almost made me cry; I know how much my parents struggled to get me and my brother; heck it took them 10 years! - I love you guys - this is so awesome. I would support you, but my job has a "no paycheck for Mikas"-policy(oh joy). - I really have no words, so I'll finish it up by saying congratulations to all parents out there. �
