Sometimes in life we are gifted a friendship that fits like it was tailor made for us. With and Craig Campbell, I was gifted a twofer:) They have been the kind of friends who share time freely, love deeply, accept radically, and fight the good fight for humankind and especially for the people they love.

For the past 5 years, they’ve been navigating Jen’s stage 4 cancer with all their might. As you can imagine, this journey has been taking its toll and they are now at a place where they need support.

Jen, an independent working jeweler with the world’s biggest heart, had to stop working when her treatment became too demanding on her body.
Craig, the ever loving partner and Houdini of comic relief, stepped into the sole provider role without question.

It’s been several years now of living in cancer survival mode with a hefty accumulation of unyielding medical and life expenses.

I’m sharing their GoFundMe (https://gofund.me/3d0611df ) in hopes of getting them as much support as possible.

If you can, please help me in supporting Jen and Craig by way of a donation and/ or by sharing their GoFundMe page far and wide. Any amount is helpful.

Thank you, thank you❤️❤️

20+ years ago I hand painted the first Ponomo, “STOP WARS” t-shirt on a repurposed vintage tee. It wasn’t for sale. It was a statement I wanted to make. It turned out to be a statement my friends wanted to make as well… and then my clients and then complete strangers. So I had a few batches made up by the unparalleled ❤️

All these years later this message is still relevant on so many levels and in so many ways/places.

25% of all sales from this batch of t-shirts will be donated to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. There are children on all sides of this conflict caught in the crossfires who have been thrust into tragedy and immeasurable loss. I struggled with where to donate to, but the crisis is currently most immediate for children in Palestine where medical resources and food are in such short supply. My heart breaks for everyone involved in and effected by this crisis.

T-SHIRT INFO:
*Printed locally by Portland’s beloved
*Printed with silver reflective ink. A subtle silver hue until light hits it and then it REFLECTS the message of STOP WARS far and wide!!
*For the first time in over 20 years, the Ponomo STOP WARS t’s are available in both black and grey (each with silver reflective ink)!!! You can thank for the addition of the black colorway.
*Unisex sizing from XS - XXL
*Available NOW on the website (link in bio) and in person at the open studio holiday sale the weekend of 12/8-12/10, and by appointment at the Ponomo studio (DM to make an appointment).

***PLEASE NOTE- the STOP WARS t-shirts tend to sell out fast. I will continue to make them, but with respect to your holiday shopping/shipping deadlines, please keep this in mind***
