WHAT THIS BRACELET MEANS TO ME:
We are currently in the process of adopting a little girl from Africa. All of the revenue of my work here on Etsy is funding the adoption. I have always told my kids that I would walk through fire for them. It's become a regular saying from my children "Oh my Mom would walk through fire for me."
What do you say to your child when it is not fire that separates you from them but a huge ocean? When you really don't like flying and are terrified of sharks? Even if I had to swim across the Atlantic she is worth it. So for this child of ours that is separated from our family by massive body of water, I will risk the ocean to bring her home.
By purchasing this bracelet you are helping me risk the ocean.
