Inspiration

Throughout my many travels, one particular event distinguished itself from all others. In 2010, I visited the country of Honduras, a place riddled with wide spread violence, crime, poverty, inequality, natural disasters and much more.

During this visit, I spent time at an orphanage just outside of the main capital.

Surrounded by these children with no parents, no means and perhaps no future, I was overwhelmed by their level of strength, joy and resilience throughout their struggles and hardships.

How could one person not be profoundly moved by this display… This experience kindled in me a deep sense of resolve and a gut-wrenching desire to accomplish making a difference no matter the extent.

Returning home after several weeks, I could not avoid nor accept this life changing experience and I was unwilling to relinquish this deep embedded desire to take action.

This is when I was inspired to create something meaningful… I envisioned a charm bracelet that could serve as a symbol for a greater purpose—not only to raise funds to support children in need but also as a representation of the struggles many of us face on a daily basis such as health issues, bullying, addiction, heartbreak, loneliness and so many more.

'Wings of Hope' was created and emerged to portray continued resilience, strength, and hope that even amongst the struggles and battles we all face… we can rise.

Accompany me in this journey of awareness, support and belief.

Find your Wings of Hope.
