The Facts

At this moment...

Millions of women and children across America are poor, desperate and homeless. Like Michael and his mother, they need nourishing food, warm clothing and a safe home to build a future. They need a chance. Like Michael's mother, these women need work that will allow them support their families without welfare. They need a life without fear.

Michael's Chance gives these distressed mothers and innocent children a chance. We are a social enterprise designed to employ women in crisis, to make the difference in their lives and the lives of their children. Our goal is to restore hope, dignity and a belief in their future. We choose to sell hope, chance & peace symbol jewelry and accessories because hope, chance & peace are gifts that many of these families have never experienced. Each item we sell gives these mothers and children another chance to build a future.
