Why Me Chain of Love

Makes a great Holiday gift!

Why me Chain of Love is a bracelet that was designed by a Why Me mom in honor of all our children - survivors, angels and fighters.

Each color bead has a specific meaning for our children.  The yellow beads are especially significant because they represent childhood cancer awareness.  Green represents comfort, pink for love, orange for strength and purple for support.

Bracelets are $30 and can either be picked up at Sherry's  House or mailed to you.
