Friends, family, and everyone who happens to come across this post… please stop and read this one.
Every November, Jay Perry starts rallying our community together in the most beautiful way through the Friends with Hearts initiative — creating an opportunity for all of us to contribute, in whatever way we can to bring joy to children in our community on Christmas morning.
And honestly… it is something really special to watch.
Post after post. Person after person. Small donations. Big donations. Businesses. Families. Friends.
Everyone doing a little bit to make Christmas a little brighter for children in our community.
And that is exactly where this idea came from.
A few years ago, I was inspired by my little cousins who made and sold loom bracelets, donating their proceeds to Friends With Hearts. I loved that they found a simple way to use something they created to give back.
So this year, I wanted to borrow their beautiful idea and put my own spin on it.
I created THREE Friends With Hearts inspired bracelets, each with a little meaning behind the stones.
🖤 BLACK AGATE — The Foundation
Representing stability, connection and the relationships that remind us we don't have to do everything alone. The people we can lean on.
🌸 ROSE QUARTZ — Kindness
Representing compassion, caring and the simple reminder to lead with a kind heart.
💚 GREEN AVENTURINE — Hope & Growth
Representing growth, optimism and positive relationships.
💜 AMETHYST — Understanding & Balance
Representing understanding, balance and finding a little calm amongst the chaos.
And of course… a heart to represent the Friends With Hearts logo and everything this initiative stands for.
✨ HERE'S WHERE YOU COME IN. ✨
These bracelets are $20 each, and 100% of the proceeds will be given to Jay to help purchase gift cards, toys and other special things for children this Christmas.
And because I make these myself, they can be customized to ANY wrist size — child or adult.
I am officially taking PRE-ORDERS NOW!
To order, simply comment below or send me a message with:
❤️ How many bracelets you'd like
🖤 Which stone(s) you'd like
📏 Wrist size in inches
And that's it!
$20 → a bracelet made with love → money going directly toward making Christmas a little brighter for a child.
How could we NOT get behind that?
And here's the part where I need your help…
You might not be able to purchase a bracelet — and that's completely okay.
But maybe someone in your circle would.
PLEASE SHARE THIS POST.
Send it to your family. Tag a friend. Share it to your stories. Put it in your community groups.
Because you never know who is looking for a simple way to give back this Christmas.
Let's see how many little hearts we can put out into the community.
Help me, help Jay, help our community.
Because sometimes it really is the little things that make the biggest difference.
