Today, September 15th, is World Beads of Courage Day!! I’ve been excited about this.
Beads of courage is an amazing nonprofit organization that gives children and teens with terminal or chronic illnesses the opportunity to share their journey through special glass beads. Every bead represents a part of my journey, including every appointment, pokes, testing, hospital admissions, infusions, therapy, and more. These little beads are a symbol of courage, hope, and healing.
Beads of Courage has been such an incredible way to show everything I've gone through and overcome. My beads are special to me and uplift me. Being able to visualize everything I’ve gotten through is something so comforting to me. People can’t see what I go through so the beads provide a space to show my story and helps make me feel more seen and validated. I’m so thankful to be able to look back on how far I have come and it gives me strength to keep fighting. It makes me proud of myself, having fought through to where I am now.
You can donate to Beads of Courage to help raise funds so they can continue their mission! Your support continues to help me and others to experience this beautiful gift. 💗
