From a Vision to a Fundraising Jewelry Collection
In early 2023 I was invited by an inspiring friend to join her for a personal development event in Sedona. It was a workshop by Kyle Cease/Evolving Out Loud called "Freeing All Children, Inside and Out."
It's always a good idea to say YES when the universe presents an opportunity, isn't it? YES. In preparation, I was watching a recorded interview with the founder of O.U.R. and Kyle Cease. To say the least, it ignited a spark. I was blown away by the message, the vision and the importance of their vision.
As a designer, I fell in love with the gorgeous symbolism of O.U.R.'s logo – an intricate chain of O-U-R with each of the letters opening link by link. The image resonates deeply as a vision of freedom. It was a vision I couldn't resist sculpting and the A Nice World homage came to life. I quickly cast three in sterling silver JUST in time for the Kyle Cease event in Sedona AZ, where I could give them in person to say THANK YOU and offer them as fundraiser pieces.
Pendants with Purpose
I'm proud to have been a part of the organization, "Art for OUR." a nonprofit group of artists raising more than $100,000 to eradicate human trafficking. I'm so proud to offer fundraising kits and DIY packets to further uplift.
The wave of change continues to rise. From the Sedona event in March 2023, (which raised more than $300,000 for O.U.R), to now, the organization has undergone great growth spurts and has grown into an even more formidable force for liberating people from human trafficking. A new CEO is at the helm and she is a force to be reckoned with, as well as a caring, collaborative, visionary leader.
Wearable Symbols of Hope
With each purchase from the OUR Rescue Fundraiser Jewelry collection, you're not just buying a piece of jewelry – you're contributing to a mission of liberation. These symbolic adornments embody hope and solidarity.
Whatever you do to uplift the world, in whatever way you love to do it, you can make a difference. Every link in the chain matters and every connected person adds strength to the group as a whole. Together, we shine light to a world where the darkness of human trafficking is replaced by new beginnings, joy and true freedom.
