Description: Though hope exists for all of us, sometimes it must be found through others. The mission of Maureen's Hope is to offer support and assistance to people facing the challenges of cancer and other life threatening illness. There are many needs that patients have when faced with a life altering disease that can not be met by the medical community and we hope to fulfill some of those needs. Maureen's Hope caters to the personal needs of individuals facing these challenges by providing gift baskets and services that offer comfort and strength as well as helping to improve their quality of life. Maureen's Hope Foundation has been able to provide over 400 baskets to cancer patients over the past five years. We have also provided patients with a cleaning service for their home; meals for the family; a wig and/or hats; complementary therapy such as reiki or massage; and assistance with fundraising events to help families with medical expenses.
Maureen's Hope also helps to empower and encourage people facing an illness by offering a variety of programs that offer hope, inspiration and education to patients. Guest speakers for these programs include motivational speakers, health care providers and community representatives. Maureen's Hope is funded through grants, corporate donations and fundraising events.

Profile: In 2010 the Foundation sponsored a new program at the Golisano Children’s Hospital called “Beads of Hope” which gives children battling cancer a tangible way to mark their treatments and progress with a colorful string of beads. |

Featured Products or Services: Visit our brand new Inspirational Jewlery Store to help support the Maureen's Hope Foundation
Secure Inspirational Jewelry Store. The story behind our bracelets have made them a meaningful gift to share with someone special and all proceeds benefit Maureen's Hope Foundation. While my sister Maureen was battling cancer she wore a fun and inspirational bracelet from Chicos throughout her journey. While she was wearing a less than flattering hospital gown her bracelet became a symbol of normalcy and represented the fun spirited person she was. May you get the same joy from your bracelet and let it bring out your Live, Love, Laugh attitude! Enjoy!

|
Profile: In my work as a psychotherapist, women's workshop leader and executive coach, I bring a wholistic perspective and understanding of the possibility and contribution of each and everyone. Also, having been a working mother and now a grandmother I know that no matter one's career, if you are a parent the issues of raising your kids are always in the back of your mind. Having concise, easy access to the wealth of new information on raising happy, mindful, kind and grateful kids who are connected to nature is critical for parents, grandparents, educators, therapists, life coaches and anyone concerned about the future for our children. Because of my huge commitment to the environment, and to youth, I volunteer for the Onondaga Earth Corps, a program for youth empowerment through environmental work. It is my hope that we will have a healthy planet for all kids and that they will learn to care for the earth and to be grateful for all of it's gifts. |

Profile: Linda uses her 20+ years restaurant and corporate meeting services background to help you plan an event where you can relax. She opened in 2000 after recognizing that having weddings and other gatherings were far too expensive; she was determined to do something about that. When displaying at local events to talk about the services and merchandise she offered, she almost never let the word “no” come out of her mouth in response to questions about planning, decorating or shopping for other items. If she didn’t have “it”, she found “it” or made “it” herself. Attention to detail, careful planning, and a keen interest to shop for unique dresses and other gift merchandise drives her to the NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, and Las Vegas bridal and gift markets periodically. Always keeping in mind her customer’s needs and budget, Linda can be counted on to keep expenses in line, and still achieve the desired goal. Two of the best things about her home-based studio is that customers receive 1:1 personal attention at their appointments, and that she offers evening & weekend appointments to work around their busy schedules. |

Description: Never mind if its a shiny or gloomy day, every woman knows that a jewel can raise and lift up her mood.
My jewels will definitely draw a lot of attention and compliments, its one of a kind and not mass! |

Profile: My name is Chen and I live in Israel. After several years of creating jewelry with beads, I have to admit that I am a "beadaholic" but I have no intention of rehabilitating.
I think that the jewelry creation is like magic - you create something new from the unknown, from your imagination and it becomes something people like to wear. Each finished piece of jewelry acquires its unique presence, which can be totally different on each person who wears it. |
