My Story:

The sea glass on the pendants are straight from the Black Sea along the shores of Ukraine hand picked by a young lady named Olena.  I by chance met Olena when I was looking for sea glass ideas on Etsy.  She had beautiful sea glass for sale which I ordered.  This was about a week before the war started.  I went to check on the status of the order a few days later and then realized they were coming from Ukraine!  I messaged Olena letting her know not to worry about the order and to be safe.  She instantly responded that they made it on the last plane out of Ukraine that day.  When I received the package about 6 weeks later, I instantly knew I wanted the sea glass somehow to go back to her.  I decided to make pendants from the glass with 100% of the proceeds going back to Olena.  (as of 5/12 we have sent $1500!) She has a 15 yr. old daughter and her husband is fighting.  She has chosen to stay at her home (just north of Odesa) to help "save her country" (as she puts it) and help those not able to leave.  I send the money to her through her Etsy site by purchasing digital photos of sea glass. www.etsy.com/shop/TaitallasHandmade   She is dispersing the money in her immediate area mostly at the Humanitarian Center.  We connect a couple times a week and she shares with me details of everyday life in Ukraine right now.  (please message me if you'd like to read our conversations.  They are very touching)
