Ana Patricia Story
While on a mission trip with the First Evangelical Free Church of Lincoln to Mexico, Nancy met a then 15 year old girl hanging around the park waiting for her mother. Her name was Patti. Patti went and stood beside Nancy and began bending leftover wire the women had been using for crafts with her teeth and out came a beautiful flower. Nancy recognized there was something special about that flower and suggested that Patti try to make jewelry.
Today Patti, her brother and aunt are creating beautiful one of a kind jewelry, not with their teeth but with jewelry making tools, spools of wire, and beautiful gemstones.
With the sales of the jewelry, they have been able to feed their families. They have purchased an old car, which many don't have, so it has basically been used for a taxi, especially for the elderly in the community. They paid for their grandfather’s funeral, put new bathrooms in their grandmother’s home and aunt’s home and paid for two of their brothers’ weddings. Patti was able to get a new guitar and she graduated from college with a degree in Industrial Engineering.
If you are interested in seeing the jewelry, you may view it at The Pour House in Friend, or in our Main Boutique store in Milford at 560 238th Road.
