In order to fully appreciate who we are here at Luhrs Wicked Wicks we think we should start from the beginning...the very beginning...
First, who are we? We are Suzzie, Erik and MaryEllen Luhrs.
Southern comfort and family tradition runs through our veins. We try to instill that tradition in our children and put it into everything we do! One of the things that separate us from the rest is our passion to help other people! We have found that in helping other people, we find freedom.
A huge part of how we started was MaryEllen!
MaryEllen is Erik's Aunt, and up until 2020, she had always lived in Torrington, CT. She is developmentally disabled, and as the town of Torrington aged, so did the people who cared for her. Once COVID-19 hit, her quality of life was diminished, and we decided to move her down to NC. What an amazing plan that God had! Mary Ellen was able to adapt and overcome the challenges associated with leaving everything she ever knew!
In 2018, we must admit, we took our first shot as candle makers. We failed, terribly.
We didn't understand the time, patience, effort, and love it takes to ensure your candle burns slowly and wax pools evenly. We didn't understand the concept of "scent throw." We didn't own the responsibility it takes to invest in the quality of ingredients one needs to provide the customer with a product worth reviewing and raving about.
In December 2020, we took the plunge into the candle-making waters (or wax) once again but with an entirely different perspective and goal. To Eventually employ people with special needs, and raise awareness for Autism. Our daughter Rilyn has now been diagnosed with Autism, and this mission has increased 10 fold. We are now donating a percentage of our profits to Autism Strong in Charlotte NC, and pushing to show that there is a place for everyone, no matter what!
Founded on faith and led by inclusion, our mission is to provide the strongest support, community and hope for those touched by autism. All funds raised by Autism Strong are mindfully donated to our community in the way that will make the greatest impact; connecting families and children to the resources they desperately need.
Our candles are more to us than a product to adorn your bathroom counter, bedroom end or coffee table.
To us, they represent generations of tradition poured into a mason jar, given to a new friend, with the intention to bring a little love and light into their home.
From our family to yours.
