Making a Place for single moms & their child.

Xiao Li came to us when she was three months pregnant.  Rejected by family, friends and baby's father, she turned to us for help.  Immediately, we took her in and began looking for a long term solution.  We'd hoped to find help for her but the more we looked the less we found.  So after much careful consideration we expanded to include a shelter for Single Mom's and their young child.  Now, Single Mom's can earn a salary making bags and receive on the job training.  We have a child care inside our workshop so they cn be close to their children.  Parenting classes, counseling and guidence are also provided. 

With a little love and support, Xiao Li is becoming a great mom.

Springsations Workshop & Boutique

Springsations started as a dream and like most dreams, seemed strange and impossible, but the more I dreamed, the more the more it became a reality!    When Springsations started in 2013, we started with a handful of people making bags. Soon after we began, we learned to sew. ....Soon after we began, a few women in our area asked for jobs, and then one day…  

One day not too long after we started the company, a former student came to visit and needed my help.  She was three months pregnant and the relationship with the baby's father didn't look like it was going to work out.  She was scared, all alone, rejected by her family and friends.  After some research and discovery, I learned there are zero opportunities for a single woman who wanted to keep her baby in China.  

Heartbroken and burdened for this young soon to be mom, my team and I came up with some ideas and made a place for Single Moms and their small children...... 

Friends who are more like Sisters!

These women become more than just colleagues or friends, they become sisters!  

In the last few months, these two have become really good friends.  I often over hear them sharing parenting advise, sharing food, watching eachother's kids in their time off and helping eachother become better mothers!  They both come to work each day with a good attitude and do their best.  They correct each other's work, and are beginning to have a higher standard of work & life.  They are very proud of their work and I am proud of both of them.  When you buy one of our bags you are supporting these women and young women just like them!
