Hope for Maxwell
In June of 2020 my world came crashing down when I took my son into the doctor - thinking we were going to get an x-ray of his arm, only to find out he had cancer. The next morning we got a diagnosis: ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia).
From that day forward I took a long pause from my career as a radiologic technologist, to stay at home and care for our son - whom in a world facing a pandemic - was unable to go to school or daycare because of his diagnosis. We spent weeks hospitalized, and the whole year of 2020 was truly one nightmare after the next.
In the beginning of 2021 - after receiving our first medical bill, and being unable to return to a full-time career - I decided to come up with a way to use my life long talent of art to provide a way to care for my son, and help with his medical bills. This is when, and why Ash and Clay was created. It has truly been a lifelong dream to make art that I can share with others. I love to create beautiful jewelry that not only is beautiful, but makes people FEEL beautiful.
Every single sale directly helps aid in the cost of son's leukemia treatment. My family and I cannot thank you all enough for the support during this difficult time, and we genuinely hope you love your handmade earrings from Ash and Clay!
