Butterfly Beads Finally, we appreciate donations to maintain
the End-of-Life bead program. Through this program we provide the
professional caregivers with a butterfly bead that they may give to a
parent who has suffered the loss of a child. Large Round or Heart Shaped
Dichroic Beads Depending on the particular hospitals preference, we
either provide them with heart shaped dichroic beads for the Beads of
Courage Bereavement Program.
Beads and
Pendants Size is not important, we can use all sizes and variations of
beads (round, tubular, odd-shaped) for our treatment milestone beads.
The size of the mandrel can range, but 3/32 inch works well and will fit
the programs stringing material. The cord that is used in the program
will fit through 1/16 inch bead holes, but 3/32 inch bead holes would be
easier for the kids to string. The inside of the bead should be free of
bead release. There should be no sharp corners or cracks in the beads
that are donated.
