3. Donations and Thank-You Gifts

All donations made through this website are final and non-refundable. Contributions may be used to support our operations, awareness campaigns, educational initiatives, outreach programs, or patient support.

Occasionally, we may offer thank-you items — such as calendars or Heather’s Blend herbal tea — in appreciation of your donation. These are not sold retail and are provided as gifts, not products.

4. Medical Disclaimer

This website offers educational content only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical concerns. Do not rely solely on this website for medical decisions.

Heather’s Blend is a custom-formulated herbal tea created to support general wellness. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease. Please consult your physician before use — especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking prescription medications — to avoid any potential contraindications or interactions.

6. Accessibility Statement

We are committed to digital accessibility and user inclusion. This site utilizes an accessibility tool provided by our partner Rocket ADA to improve navigation for visitors with disabilities.

If you experience difficulty accessing any content or functionality, please notify us via chat or email so we can assist you and address the issue promptly.

We may edit submissions for clarity, formatting, or appropriateness.
