Pendants for a Cause began in September 2019 with something small—a single piece of sea glass—and a hope to help someone in need. When Hurricane Dorian devastated the Bahamas, leaving communities without homes, resources, or access to essential medical care, I felt the familiar pull to serve. Yet from a distance, even with years of medical training, I could not offer the hands-on help I wished I could give.

So I asked myself a simple question: What do I have in my hands right now that can still make a difference?

That question became the spark. From that spark grew Pendants for a Cause.

In our first month, the response was overwhelming. We exceeded our fundraising goal and donated every penny from our handmade sea glass jewelry to support emergency medical efforts in the Bahamas. As the months unfolded, our mission deepened. We helped fund life-saving heart surgeries for children. We supported relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. We stepped in wherever compassion called.

What began as a quiet gesture has grown into a small but steady movement—one shaped by creativity, grounded in purpose, and guided by the belief that beauty can be a force for healing. Pendants for a Cause is no longer just a personal project; it is a mission carried forward with hope for a healthier, more caring world.

Today, Ocean of Hope Jewelry serves as the creative expression of that mission. Each piece of sea glass we transform honors the resilience of the ocean and the resilience of the people we serve.

And while our journey is still unfolding, our intention remains simple:
to create something beautiful,
to reflect the beauty that surrounds us,
and to use that beauty to bring healing where it is needed most.

Thank you for being part of this story—and for helping turn compassion into action.
