Khloe’s Bracelets of Hope

During her infusion treatments at the hospital, Khloe, who was diagnosed at age 6, passes her time in the most inspiring way – by making bracelets. Each one is bright, cheerful, and filled with love. But what makes them truly special is why she makes them.

Khloe is crafting bracelets to raise funds for a cure for juvenile myositis. Between infusions, she carefully strings colorful beads, spelling out words like hope, strong, and cure. “I want to help other kids like me,” she says, holding up a bracelet that reads Cure JM.

Her family helps sell the bracelets to friends, classmates, and neighbors, with every dollar going to Cure JM to support research and care for kids with juvenile myositis.

“I am blown away by the support from our friends and family,” says Khloe’s mom, Annalisa. “This fundraiser has been so heartwarming.”

Khloe’s bracelets are more than jewelry – they’re a symbol of courage, community, and the belief that together, we can find a cure.

During the holiday season, you can join Khloe and her family in helping to find a cure. All funds raised or donated through December 31 will be matched through the Coffey Family Match.
