I’ve been a little quiet with my sea glass jewelry line lately, but I’ve been waiting for the exact right moment to share what’s been in my heart.
Today, I’m officially launching my next line: Pieces of Hope.
100% of net profits from my sea glass jewelry collection will now go directly toward bringing hope, validation, and comfort to mothers navigating child protective services and foster care separation.
Nearly 1 in 100 mothers in our country has lost a child to the foster care system. So often, these mothers are left with zero support, facing judgment and isolation rather than the love, healing, and community they desperately need. It is my personal mission to change that narrative.
Through Pieces of Hope, proceeds will directly fund printing, packaging, and delivering physical copies of my book, Finding Michelle Canu—my own lost mother’s story—along with local parental rights resource guides, completely free of charge to mothers in need.
Here is how your order creates direct impact:
$35 Necklace: Pays for 7 copies of Finding Michelle Canu to be printed and delivered directly to mothers or family support groups.
Custom Jewelry Order: Pays for up to 10 free copies placed into the hands of the women who need this message the most.
My mother’s story is a testament to the fact that a mother’s love never dies, and that an adopted child's love for their birth mother never truly vanishes, either. Sometimes, the child comes back searching. I want to offer these mothers a lifeline of hope, but I can’t do it without our community.
How you can help right now:
🌊 Purchase or Order Custom: Visit my website to view available pieces or place a custom order under the "Pieces of Hope" directory.
📩 Request a Book Package: If you are a mother who has experienced foster care separation—or are an advocate/organization serving these families—visit the link in my bio to fill out our confidential request form, or send me a direct message.
🗣️ Share This Post: Help us reach the mothers, advocates, and support networks who need to know this exists.
No mother should ever feel abandoned or forgotten in her deepest grief. My mother deserved love and support, and so does every single mother fighting for her family today.
Available sea glass pieces will be posted right here later tonight! Check out the site to view the collection early (link in the comments below and in bio). 🤍
