Short Summary

  • My name is Nicole Wilbur- I spend my career working hard to support my community as a Social Worker through employment in the Hospital, Hospice, Homecare, Palliative Care, Schools, Brain Injury, Therapy, Advocacy and Education.  Over the past 5 years, I have further expanded my mission through my store, Self Esteem Shop.   I utilize a "trifecta approach" through our storefront located in Casco, MI, our website: selfesteemshop.com, and by traveling across the country to set up-pop up shops to connect people with the specialty resources they need for success: for themselves, their clients, families and other stakeholders.

    Self Esteem Shop is an independent, woman-owned bookstore that sells books, games, sensory items and other developmental toys and tools. We offer custom considerations, zoom appointments, complete grant and wish/need fulfillment, education and assistance to connect you with the best in resources to support your personal and professional needs at every age and stage.  We work hard to source all of the best resources and get them all in one spot from basic development and socioemotional learning to specializing in "the tough stuff" including trauma, grief and loss, abuse, learning disabilities, Autism and any other change or challenge.  

    I am incredibly excited to share our newest endeavor: The Self Esteem Shop Wish List Program.  After further researching the ways in which Self Esteem Shop can continue to make a greater impact, I was reminded of the importance of having the right resources and tools can make on the outcomes for ourselves, our clients and our families.  It remains a consistent challenge to obtain the necessary funding to keep up with the latest and greatest resources available. 

    With the research to support the importance of every child, everywhere to have access to books and other supportive materials, we are driven to continue this mission to get the resources into the hands of those that need them, to positively impact the lives of as many people as possible.  Taking it even further, we are able to bring the expertise of Self Esteem Shop to connect individuals and other stakeholders with books, resources and materials that are age and developmentally appropriate to support mental, physical and emotional wellness.  The impacts of your contributions for this campaign will be widespread as they will support those in the community doing the work, those they are working with and everyone connected with them throughout their lives thereafter from improved mental health, job opportunities and advancement, relationships and overall health and wellness!

The Impact

  • We know that there are so many amazing professionals out there doing great things in this world.  We also know that there are many people, like you, that would love to help but just aren't sure how.  That is why we have decided to highlight the needs/ wish lists of the professionals that allow for you to make concrete contributions to the resources and materials that they know are imperative to success for the students, clients, patients and other individuals that they work with.  
  •  Self Esteem Shop has been fulfilling our mission and vision for over 30 years to get resources into the hands of those that need them through our storefront, website, conference and local event attendance in addition to offering complete grant fulfillment, custom considerations for the "tough stuff" through email and zoom appointments and more.  We specialize in connecting people with the resources necessary to maximize health, wellness and success.  This campaign will allow us to take our mission even further to assist when the funding is minimal or nonextistent for so many unmet needs.  
  • Self Esteem Shop has built a reputation over the past 30 years around the world as a company that helps others.  We welcome you to join us in our continued journey!  Check out our social media pages for just a few of the many ways we are involved in our community.

Risks & Challenges

We know times are tough for so many of us that may not have much extra from a monetary standpoint to give to campaigns like this.  We also know so many professionals doing the work may struggle with finding the time to create their wish/need lists and make them known to those that have the capability to help.  

  • As a Social Worker that has had the privilege to work with so many amazing individuals in helping professions, I have first hand knowledge along with access to a plethora of professionals I continue to consult with regarding the needs that exist, where to source what is needed and how to get them into the hands of those that need them.
  • With your help, we will get this campaign out to the masses to ensure the needs are identified and shared out far and wide. 
  • With our easy process, the form to get started can be completed and our staff will continue to get the wish/ needs lists on our website: selfesteemshop.com. Additional options are available through links for each professional that will bring us to their dedicated page.  There, anyone can use their personalized coupon code to purchase items off the list with a discount and Self Esteem Shop will ship/ deliver them anywhere in the USA for FREE once purchased/ funded.  
  • With our prevalent social media presence and frequent travel, we will have the capability to continue to reach many of those with unmet needs that can start a wish/needs list with Self Esteem Shop as well as those that wish to help and can donate and/ or share out!
  • With this campaign, every penny will be spent to help meet the unmet needs of as many professionals and those they connect with as possible.
