A beautiful reminder of hope 

Amelia Rose Jewelry, an accessory line that sells gem stone jewelry, created this hope bracelet specifically to raise funds for Experience Camps programming.

Let’s hear it for pretty bracelets that share a message of hope while helping to transform the lives of grieving children. The cost: $38, and 100% of the proceeds to Experience Camps.

#BestWeekEver Illustrations

We teamed up for the holidays with Atlas Prints Company to bring joy while helping transform the lives of grieving kids.

They’re available for purchase for $45, and 15% of proceeds will go directly to Experience Camps! See all three prints and instructions on how to order them at @atlasprints.co on Instagram.
