Houston Jewelry Boutique Partners with Make-A-Wish with Curated ‘Wish Collection’ to grant more wishes  

HOUSTON (June 6, 2024) – Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana is thrilled to announce a local partnership with Houston-area boutique, Golden Thread. Jennifer Welker, the founder and owner of Golden Thread, thoughtfully curated the Wish Collection to support and share the impact and power of a wish.  

"What an honor it is to partner with Make-A-Wish and curate a meaningful collection. This impactful collaboration highlights the life-changing wishes granted daily for children with critical illnesses. [I am] immensely grateful for this incredible and profound opportunity,” said Jennifer Welker. 

Prior to founding Golden Thread, Jennifer was an ICU nurse. As a former nurse, she found no greater joy than pairing her two passions – accessories and helping others. A personal connection to two Wish alums is what ignited Jennifer’s passion to create the Wish Collection. 

Each piece in the Wish Collection was carefully selected with the intent to be symbolic of the true stars among us – wish recipients and their strengths.  

“The courage that our Wish Kids show daily is the true power of a wish. This Wish Collection is not only beautiful but helps signify the life-changing wishes that are being granted each day for children with critical illnesses in our community. Twenty percent of every sale will come back to our chapter – which is a wonderful way for us to continue to grant more life-changing wishes for eligible children in our community,” said Shelly Millwee, CEO and President of Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana. 

The collection, which features an array of gold and blue star earrings, necklaces, headbands, and more, ranges from $15 to $45. All purchases in store and online will benefit Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana.
