I thought I would copy nancy's post here at the TBPI Message Board because some may not read the other Message Boards.
My husband is giving me one for Mother's Day... I guess I hinted when I sent him the link... LOL...

Jennifer Engelhardt's best friend, Jeannette Allen, is a bead jeweler. Jeannette wanted to design something to promote bpi awareness and has created a bracelet.

She is generously offering to donate all profit to UBPN.

The bracelet and ordering information can be found at:
http://www.thejewelrybeader.com/

One can order them via Paypal but Jeannette will also take checks, and if you want to pay this way, just contact her via the email link on her site and she will give you her address.

One of these would make a wonderful Mother's Day gift (hint, hint -- Tim, are you reading this ....)

can the checks be made out to bpi?? Also what portion is going to ubpn?

All of the labor is donated as a service to us.
Only the cost of the material is deducted.

Jeannette is a friend of Jennifers and designed this as a gift to UBPN.
She is making them and mailing them and all profit goes to UBPN.

I hope this helps

Would it be possible to put this on with no use of my bpi arm? It doesn't look like this would be possible in total bpi cases, unless it could fit over my hand easily without undoing the clasp.....

Jenny, I have a toggle braclet and it is very possible to do with only the use of one hand.... well I guess that is if you are going to wear it on your BPI arm. If you are going to wear it on your "good arm" you will probably need help! Hope this helps.....

Well I guess all bracelets can be put on with one hand, you can't use the one you're putting it on can you.....but if it's not possible to slip it over the hand on the unaffected side then I for one couldn't wear it. A bracelet (or anything else) on the wrist of the flail bpi arm would be dangerous because it would get caught on things without me feeling it.

Never mind :0(

I hear ya Jenny... however we are also selling the silicone ones too, they say "reaching out for BPI" There will be an order form thing in Outreach. These can be stretched, maybe even over your head! haha I wera mine on my BPI hand and it doesnt bother me but it might bother some..... however this one can be worn on the good arm too and can be put on with teeth! haha Thanks GOD for those eh?! Check those out too... they stretch so they wont break if they get caught on something... jsut a nother thought.
