Choosing Hope

Watching a child suffer through the challenges of an illness is so difficult! Thanks go out to Erin Flickert-Rowland and Christine Altmiller who are hosting this blog hop and spreading the word about 7000 Bracelets for Hope. An opportunity from the Global Genes Project, jewelry designers are asked to donate a denim-themed bracelet to inspire hope and offer support to the families and caregivers of children affected by rare diseases.


I am sending this macramé bangle that sports 12mm druzy stones in denim shades from classic indigo to light stonewashed and a larger wooden focal bead inset with abalone. The slide closure makes it adjustable to any size wrist. I hope it will bring comfort to a family to know there are so many of us praying and pulling for them.

Please take a moment to click on the links below to see the designs that other jewelry artists are donating to show their support for these children and their families.

Once you choose hope, anything's possible. -Christopher Reeve
