Help 11 year old Aaliyah recover from a Huge Theft

Hi, my name is Teresa Johnson and the story of 11 year old, Aaliyah, having a lady steal a huge amount of her Handcrafted bracelets has affected me as a fellow crafter. The lady was shown on a video, just stuffing a large bag of the bracelets. How could she do this to a 11 year old? Aaliyah had stepped into her house and this lady swooped in and filled a large bag of her bracelets. I have no words.

Lets give her a warm hug and encouragement to keep on doing her craft. We don't want one huge act of selfishness discourage her from doing something she was proud of doing.

Her name is Aaliyah. She makes little tiny custom cards to go with every one of her bracelets too, and during Christmas last year she actually personalized peoples messages for them

She met so many people who gave her inspiration and told her to keep it up, so she did, she worked hard to get the beads, they aren’t cheap; and neither is paper or toner but honestly she’s so talented and I loved to see her successful at her age. And now, since this happened to her.

Thankyou to everyone who donates. This is so appreciated.

Hello to all of you donaters, thankyou. You are amazing. You took the time to read the article and than donate. Thankyou for doing that. All of you have shown you care and that is much appreciated. I really have no words. Thankyou and take care.

Update July 25th.

Please except our thanks for all your support. It's time to shut this fund down and get shopping for beads. Way to go wonderful people. I'm sure this will be a huge happy memory for years to come. Take care. Aaliyah, her mom and dad and me, Teresa
