A star of hope

Before Hannah passed away I was shopping on Etsy and came across a wired ring that spelled out hope. I immediately loved it. I started searching to see if there were any other hope rings. I narrowed it down to 3 that I liked but finally decided on one. I loved the ring because I thought it was a fun way to represent Hannah's Hope. The ring had a whole new meaning to me after Hannah passed away.
Just like other online stores you have to review your purchase. For some reason I kept putting it off and I guess there was a reason why. After Hannah passed away I wanted to tell the owner how much her ring meant to me. This is what I wrote:

Dear Lori, I wanted to let you know that I love the hope ring you made. I purchased this ring because my husband and I started a charity in honor of our daughter who was born with special needs. Our charity is called Hannah's Hope. We raise money for other special needs children. So needless to say I was very excited to find your shop. On Monday, our sweet Hannah passed away unexpectedly at the age of 3. My ring now means more to me then you could ever know. I guess I'm telling you this because I hope you will keep doing what you are doing. You never know how you can touch someone. So thank you for your talent! I have something that will always give me hope when I think about my little girl.

Lori replied and was very touched by Hannah's story. The cool thing about this story is that Lori has worked with special needs kids for over 13 years. Of all the rings I could have picked, I picked Lori's and I'm so glad that I did. 

Lori created a star ring in honor of Hannah and we will be selling them at this years vendor fair as well as the hope ring, bracelet, and necklace charm.

Thank you Lori for helping us continue Hannah's mission to help others!

As mentioned above, we will be selling these rings and a few other pieces at the Hannah's Hope table at our vendor and craft fair if you would like to purchase one for yourself or even as a gift. All proceeds will be donated to Hannah's Hope. Please visit Lori's Etsy shop and take a look at her other jewelry as well. They make great gifts!
