Mend On The Move

Mend On The Move Mend is a 501(c)(3) non-profit social enterprise, employs survivors of abuse in Metro Detroit It is also my story. I, too, am a survivor of child sexual abuse.

From Mend on the Move founder Joanne Ewald:
One in four girls will experience child sexual abuse. These broken, abused children, if not given the opportunity to heal, grow into broken adults who are vulnerable to many of society’s injustices. This is the common story of the women we serve through Mend on the Move. I was abused from the age four to 13. By God’s grace my abuse did not lead to traffi

cking, addiction, homelessness and the like, but it has been a long journey toward complete healing. My heart aches for those women who are still trying to find their way. Through Mend on the Move, I hope to help break the silence of abuse and trafficking, empower survivors, and be their voice until they become strong enough to find their own.

We teamed up with the dedicated employees at the Ford Motor Company Environmental Summit to help us name our latest creation. “Spark” took the win over “Recharged” by just one vote!

Crafted from electric vehicle copper donated directly by Ford, this necklace is a true symbol of renewal and energy. It sits perfectly as a delicate bar necklace, blending automotive history with modern style.

Thank you, Ford Motor Company, for always supporting Mend on the Move! 🤎

✨ We’re thrilled to announce a powerful collaboration between Mend on the Move and A Courageous Voice! ✨

We’re launching a special bracelet and necklace set handcrafted by the women of Mend on the Move — women rebuilding their lives after abuse through meaningful work, community, and creative expression.

A portion of every purchase will be donated directly to A Courageous Voice (ACV).

That means your purchase supports two life‑changing missions at once.

💛 About A Courageous Voice
ACV is a nonprofit dedicated to protecting children from sexual abuse through education, prevention programs, and community awareness. They equip adults and kids with the knowledge and confidence to recognize, prevent, and speak out against abuse — creating safer communities for all.

💛 Why This Collaboration Matters
Mend on the Move empowers survivors as they heal and rebuild. ACV works to prevent abuse and give survivors a voice. Together, they form a powerful circle of protection, healing, and hope.

When you purchase this jewelry, you’re not just buying something beautiful. You’re standing with survivors. You’re helping prevent future harm. You’re choosing impact.

✨ Shop the collaboration. Support the mission. Wear the message.

At Mend on the Move, we use jewelry making in our therapeutic work because healing doesn’t always begin with words. 💛

For many survivors of abuse, creating with your hands can feel safer and more grounding than trying to explain painful experiences out loud. Research shows that hands-on creative activities can help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, increase mindfulness, and restore a sense of control and confidence.

When survivors sit down to create jewelry, we often see more than just creativity — we see moments of peace, connection, self-expression, and empowerment. Something as simple as choosing colors, connecting parts, or focusing on a pattern can help bring the mind and body back into the present moment.

Our goal is never just to make jewelry. It’s to create space for healing, community, and hope — one piece at a time.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we honor the strength it takes to keep going and the community it takes to heal. 💚

Not every healing journey is visible. Some days are progress. Some days are survival. All of it matters.

For survivors of abuse, mental health is deeply connected to healing because recovery is not only about what happened but about rebuilding safety, trust, and a sense of self.

We’re reminded that healing isn’t a straight path and no one should have to walk it alone.
