BellaRa + Co.

BellaRa + Co. is a mother/daughter handmade beaded bracelet business. Our business was birthed when my adult special-needs daughter’s expressed an interest in making and selling bracelets. Recognizing the educational impact a small, creative business would have on her, I decided to help make this idea a reality. Through our bracelet business she is learning essential skills such as tracking her work hours, setting and maintaining a schedule, working even when you don’t want to, setting goals, saving money and understanding concepts around how the income from sales goes toward purchasing beads, paying her, helping with marketing, and so on. BellaRa + Co. is more than a bead making business! It is a hands-on opportunity for my daughter to learn and grow in her knowledge and understanding of practical life lessons, doing what she enjoys, all while obtaining gainful employment. We are glad you stopped by and can’t wait to serve you! Looking for something special? Just ask!

Meet Bella of BellaRa + Co.

Bella is a 20-year-old special-needs adult who suffered a traumatic brain injury at the age of 6-months when severely shaken by a babysitter. She had a 1 in 3 chance of surviving and beating the odds. She is a miracle! While she still suffers with a multitude of intellectual disabilities, is legally blind in her left eye, has zero depth perception, and is a very young 20 year old, she is a girl who exudes joy! Her dream since she was just a little girl was to be a “baby doctor” and while that dream is not in her future, she does enjoy working 4-6 hours a week in our church’s nursery. BellaRa + Co. is her dream and a way for her to gain additional money to enjoy life. Be sure to check out her online store here!
