Take a trip with us as we travel to Harlan County KY. We’re taking food for the local school backpack program. This badly needed program supplies food that teachers and resource directors use to distribute week-end food to Appalachian mountain children that they know won’t have anything to eat until they come back to school on Monday morning.
The program also distributes clothing and shoes to needy children. The teachers notice when a child doesn’t have decent shoes or clothes – and they can send them to the resource department for needed items.
Your purchase of our Appalachian made necklace will help give jobs to mothers who are trying to raise their children. Won’t you help?

The dark areas show the most distressed areas in the Appalachian Mountains. They have the greatest economic hardship. Areas are considered distressed if their unemployment rate is at least 200% of the national average.
These Americans need help…and we need you to help us help them survive! Many of our ladies that make the jewelry are single mothers – they love their children just the same as you and I…but they have very little to offer them. It’s a very hard life and this small effort helps them buy groceries and necessities for their families.
Please order your necklace today!

Finally! Here it is. After months of design…making molds and casting these beautiful sterling silver and bronze components…we are ready to deliver them to you. This necklace should sell for $79.95…but we want to put our Harlan County women to work as quickly as possible…so the price is an unbelievable $49.95. Please order yours today! And tell your friends about it as well.
The words signify what this ministry is all about. We want to give the ladies HOPE for the future. They DREAM about a brighter future for their children. And we BELIEVE in you…and that you will help us make it happen for them.
There are so many ministries like this to help people in other countries. And while we applaud their efforts…we believe that there are many people right here in America that need help just as much! Did you know that many people in the Appalachian Mts. live 37% below the national poverty level? This necklace is both designed and made by Appalachian Mountain people…and your purchase will make such a difference in their lives. We thank you so very much!!

Meeting of local Harlan County women who are desperate to find work!
One notification of possible jobs in a local Harlan County newspaper brought more people to a meeting than the room could hold. Just the possibility of having an income to provide for their families is more than many Appalachian Mountain people can imagine. This meeting was held in Benham, KY.
Our Appalachian project will include training, not only to make jewelry … but to run a business that provides us with the jewelry to sell, which in turn provides more work for them.
We held another meeting just a few days ago to bring the ladies up to date on our progress in implementing this jewelry project. It’s such a joy to bring hope to these wonderful Appalachian Mountain people.

We’ve just returned from a food delivery to a Harlan County community in Southeastern Kentucky. This food will enable teachers and resource directors to send food home with children that may not have enough nourishment over the weekend. The school also helps distribute shoes, clothing and school supplies to these Appalachian Mountain children.

Purchase Your Necklace and help our mothers feed their children.
You will be proud to wear this high-quality sterling silver and bronze necklace.
"Can most of us even imagine trying to feed a family on less than $100 a month? But, this is the bleak reality in Appalachia! These are proud people...eager to work to support their families. But, there are no jobs!
Perhaps in the past, you've needed help to take care of your family. I urge you to remember how a small effort on someone else's part made a major difference in your life...and in your family's future.
Not only will you will be proud to wear this beautiful necklace...but you will have the joy of knowing that you have helped a family to survive!
