My business partner, Melanie, and I moved to Kansas City because of our husbands' jobs. I moved here about 20 years ago from Northern California, and she moved here about 12 years ago from Southern California. We both found ourselves landlocked and longing for the sounds of water which ultimately became the foundation of starting Mer-Sea.

When we finally grew the business to the point where we could give back, it made sense that it had to be about water. We studied dozens of worthy organizations but ultimately our research brought us right back to Kansas City—right down the road to Water.org. 

Our partnership begins with a candle, appropriately named “Sea Change.” Its aquatic scent will fill your home, and every time you smell it, you can think how this has helped someone have access to clean water.

ALL PROFITS from the sale of our "Sea Change" candle go directly to Water.org.  Let’s see how much we can donate together!
