100% of proceeds from the sale of these bracelets will benefit our partner organization, Labeled and Loved, a 501c non-profit organization that focuses on mothers of special needs children. They provide support circles, virtual and in person meet-ups, daily text encouragement and an annual retreat. So many resources are available when a child with special needs receives their diagnosis but there is so little for the parents. We will literally burn the candle in the middle to make sure our children have what they need but where are the resources to support that parent?
This bracelet includes you as part of my support circle and the support circles of the special needs parents in your life. I chose the elephant as a symbol of strength, protection and community. When a female of the herd is threatened or vulnerable, her sisters will surround her in a circle and trumpet and stomp until the threat has passed. At some point in their lives they may take a turn in the center of the circle and at others, they stand strong in the circle as a protector. I count myself as part of many circles and am honored to count you as part of mine!
