Jill's father walked out of their home when she was sixteen months old and didn't return. He died in a plane crash, and her life was forever changed.
Fortunately, her mental health was of the utmost importance, having received counseling and therapy throughout her childhood and adulthood. During that time, the groundwork was being laid to prepare her, or as Jill would say, God was preparing her hands for His work. And that she did.
After finding her way from making jewelry for people celebrating special occasions to creating keepsakes in memory of loved ones, she inadvertently used her story, skills, and strengths in unexpected ways - supporting people through their grief in the co-creation of jewelry.
God told her it was time to turn her pain into purpose, and her non-profit, Together We Heal Community, was born in 2018.
One never knows where an idea will take us. Through Jill's story, explore how she turned an idea and, more importantly, her pain into purpose.
