Have you ever "wished" a special thought on behalf of someone you love? What about the wishes, the hopes, and the dreams you carry in your own heart? With our simply designed Wish Bracelet, you can now share a secret wish, a favorite quote, a mission statement, or even a prayer or meditation in a memorable way. Dark, shiny agate beads strung on 8 inches of stretchy elastic are secured with a stainless steel screw-on clasp, and hidden within is a secret compartment to stash your personal message. Simply write your "wish" on a tiny slip of paper, roll it up, and tuck it into the secret capsule. Included with each bracelet is a set of blank paper slips, along with some "wish inspiration" to help you get started! Maybe this is a gift you choose to give yourself. Write down your wish and wear it every day as an inspiration to take action in the direction of your dreams. It can serve as a reminder to help you stay focused on your goal. As your dreams become reality, you will have that tiny slip of paper as proof that big things start small. Whether you do it for yourself or for one you love, we want you to dream! Our passion at WAR, Int'l is to help survivors discover their dreams, and we want to invite you into the circle of protection and hope that represents all we do. The bracelet you hold in your hands has been created in our very own U.S. Training Center, and your purchase uplifts the lives of rescued and at-risk American women by making their dreams come true.
Where this product came from
U.S. Training Center
Encompassed Creations
Precious wounded women and children have walked through the doors of the Women At Risk, International headquarters—weary and in need of a safe haven. Our U.S. Training Center (USTC) provides them with a fresh beginning in a holistic program offering counseling, skills training, scholarships, employment, and much more. As women learn to design and create beautiful products within a nurturing community, they are also learning to redesign their lives and dream again. Working with dignity empowers them to provide for their children, learn skills, build a resume, and change their futures. As WAR, Int’l fields an increasing flow of needs and requests, we are growing the USTC to add more services, serve more women, and widen our circles of protection. When you purchase jewelry, candles, spa products, and other items handcrafted by our artisans, you invest in our own communities, helping us rescue, restore, and empower in “the land of the free.”
Hope
Hope bolted into WAR, Int’l headquarters, running from her trafficker. As our staff enveloped her in safety, her story unfolded. After being sold from Michigan to Mexico, she had escaped and returned home—to the same hometown as her trafficker. She feared she would never be safe. WAR, Int’l formed a circle around Hope, providing security, medical care, and a pro bono lawyer. Today she is safe in a partnering program. Hope’s story is echoed in the hundreds of rescue calls WAR, Int’l receives from American citizens seeking safety in the land of the free. Through our U.S. Training Center, we continue to provide circles of protection and freedom, offering women a chance to rebuild their lives and find HOPE.
Monique
WAR, Int’l staff met Monique on outreach in the bars of Grand Rapids. Hearing her story, we offered her alternative employment—and the very next day, she showed up at our headquarters. After trying in vain to write a resume for one who had only known the abuse of the red light district, we hired her—and a pilot program was born. Monique began to design and create beautiful jewelry, working with dignity and in safety while and earning a reference that would blot out her broken past. As the U.S. Training Center program grew, so did her skill. Free and empowered, Monique is now employed in the local community, creating a better future for herself and her children.
