DO you ever wish that your relationship with God could feel less complicated and more life giving?
Hi! I’m Kendall, and I help women get unstuck in their relationship with God.
I want to see you get past the hang-ups and have your eyes opened to the fact that there is such a bigger, eternal purpose for why you are placed on this earth. There is an incredibly larger picture at play, but it so easily gets clouded by the junk we go through in day to day life.

THE PENNY STORY SHOP
where it all began
I'm glad our worlds have collided (virtually) for a moment
let me tell you about pennies… you know, the little copper coins you find in the most obscure places. they are rather cheap, usually dirty, and often overlooked.
In 2012 I had a lightbulb moment. I was sitting in a college class titled Human Trafficking in America. The professor compared pennies to victims of human trafficking. Just as pennies are stepped on and stepped over, so are victims of human trafficking. Pennies are left on gas station countertops for our convenience – we take one if we need one, we leave it if we don’t. These copper coins represent the millions of victims across the globe.
I knew I would never see a penny the same again. I knew I wanted to help abolish this world-wide injustice. But I was one seemingly insignificant college girl from a small town in Alabama. What could I do to help bring freedom to MILLIONS in captivity around the entire globe?!
Doing nothing was not an option. We started making penny bracelets and donating the proceeds to A21. I would sell a penny bracelet to anyone, I mean anyone, who would buy one. If you knew me in 2013, you were more than likely tired of me begging (okay, maybe forcing) people to buy a penny bracelet.
A few months into selling penny bracelets to my friends and family, a rather unlikely turn of events happened. Singer/songwriter Kari Jobe reached out and asked if she could start selling these penny bracelets in her merchandise. I was shocked. It was a dream come true to have someone give a such a significant voice to the pennies!
Kari picking up the penny bracelets is what turned this small-town dream into a nationwide movement. People all over America started buying penny bracelets and creating awareness to trafficking in their sphere of influence.
We donate proceeds from sales to A21 to do our part in helping end human trafficking.
No amount is too small. If a penny can change the world, so can you!

“It just started with noticing pennies! And now we’ve sold more than 20,000 bracelets.” She’s not the only one delighted. Christine Caine shares that excitement. Caine admits that a lot of people want to do something to affect trafficking, but Kendall's passion and pursuit have proven special.
“kendall has bravely looked in the direction of injustice and decided to use what was in her hand to make a difference,” says caine. “i think the penny story and bracelets have been so successful because of the meaning behind it, the passion within it, and the determination that kendall has had to make a difference.”
