Mend on the Move is more than a charity—it’s a lifeline for women in metro Detroit who are courageously rebuilding their lives after abuse. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social enterprise, we offer these survivors a chance to reclaim their strength and self-worth through the art of jewelry making. Each unique piece is crafted from salvaged auto parts and car seat leather—symbols of resilience transformed into beauty.
Every creation tells a story: of hands that have endured but now create, of lives once shattered but now piecing themselves back together. By choosing Mend on the Move, you’re not just buying jewelry—you’re providing hope, dignity, and employment to women finding their voices within our supportive community.
Your choice also helps reduce the staggering 3 tons of auto waste that would otherwise fill landfills every year. Together, we can transform pain into purpose and waste into wonder, making Detroit a beacon of empowerment, sustainability, and second chances.
Wear their strength. Share their journey. Make a difference today.
