Bari's Bracelets by Julie Rachel Designs at B Friends in Deerfield

A remarkable woman, Bari Levy Rubenstein contracted a staph infection that attacked her spine and has left her a quadriplegic and permanently on a ventilator. She is the mother of 4 children all under the age of 6 and was the sole provider for her family prior to this tragedy. She continues to fight and carry on so that she can be a mother to her children. Her strength, determination and will are an inspiration to her friends, her family and anyone whose life she touches.

Along with Julie Rachel Designs, Bari helped design the Bari Bracelets on sale at B Friends. 40% of all Julie Rachel Designs bracelets will benefit Friends of Bari Rubenstein Fund. Quantities are limited but orders will be taken for future delivery. Additionally, B Friends will donate 20% of all in-store sales if you mention "Bari".

Sale goes from May 1-May 12.
