About us

On April 13, 2023, my 16-year-old nephew Ralph Yarl was going to pick up his younger brothers when he accidentally went to the wrong house and rang the doorbell. A simple mistake. Yet the man at that house shot my nephew in the head and again in the arm.

I can still remember driving to the hospital to pick up my twin nephews and to be with my sister. All I had left was HOPE. I hope that it was not Ralph's time. I hope he will be alive to see the reason behind this tragic event. By the grace of God, he pulled through and is recovering.

After the shooting, I realized that not every family is as lucky as we are. Most families who are victims of gun violence do not get to hug their loved ones again. They also do not get the love and support that I was able to get for my nephew due to my social media platform.

HOPE by Faith Spoonmore was created to help families of young victims of racially motivated gun violence.  Proceeds from HOPE by Faith Spoonmore will be donated to these families.

Each handmade bracelet is uniquely designed. The goal is that these bracelets will symbolize hope for those who wear them. The Hope that one day the color of someone's skin will not be used by someone else to determine the value of their life is the Hope behind Hope by Faith Spoonmore.
