The government shutdown is effecting many people that serve our country. My friend Melissa is a woman in the Air Force, but she relies much on her commission from Trades of Hope to support her two children! Shop at her online store to support women at home and abroad.

Melissa and I went to high school together. We reconnected later in life as women entrepreneurs on a mission! She is in the US Air Force as her day job and she also has a couple side businesses! In all she does, she tries to help others!
Ironically, her side-business is Trades of Hope, which helps women around the world out of situations that make it difficult to support their families! Well, it’s hitting really close to home and it’s time to payback this lady soldier for her service!
In addition to helping a military mama, the mission of this company will give you a cozy feeling too. Plus their products are quality, charming and one-of-a-kind handmade pieces.
Trades of Hope is a fair trade company that is employing women to make handmade items. Giving them an opportunity to have a sustainable job that they can be proud to have. Helping end poverty, keeping women out of brothels and giving children an education in 16 countries.
“Our products are made by women around the world who are overcoming difficult situations. At Trades of Hope, we believe that each woman is an artist and entrepreneur. Our artisans are able to provide for their children, escape sexual exploitation, and create hopeful futures. They take pride in their work and are pillars of strength for their families and their communities.”
She also sells Essential Oils by Young Living.
