A Gift from the Heart: Celebrate Mother’s Day with Purpose from Her 2nd Chance

Her 2nd Chance Mother's Day The Sober Curator

This Mother’s Day, give a gift that honors resilience, courage, and second chances.

At Her 2nd Chance, every handcrafted item is more than a thoughtful present—it’s a powerful symbol of hope and healing. Created by women in recovery, each piece carries a story of triumph over adversity and a future filled with promise.

Handcrafted by Women Rebuilding Their Lives

Her 2nd Chance is a nonprofit social enterprise based in Boca Raton, Florida, offering paid, purposeful employment to women who are courageously rebuilding their lives after addiction. In a society where recovery often comes with stigma and barriers, this organization offers something vital: a second chance.

Every item in their shop is made with intention and love by women who have faced overwhelming challenges—homelessness, addiction, trauma—and are now on the path to transformation. When you buy from Her 2nd Chance, you’re not just giving a gift to your mother, grandmother, sister, or friend. You’re giving the gift of dignity, empowerment, and opportunity to another woman in your community.

Every Purchase Makes a Difference

Each purchase provides 22 minutes of paid employment for a woman in recovery. That’s 22 minutes of skill-building, of showing up, of moving forward. It’s 22 minutes closer to a new life.

And here’s the best part: 100% of proceeds go toward employing more women. That means every cent you spend is an investment in hope, healing, and second chances.

Celebrate the Women Behind the Work

This Mother’s Day, we invite you to look beyond traditional gifts and support a cause that uplifts mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends who are reclaiming their lives. These are women who’ve battled immense hardship and come out the other side with strength, grace, and a fierce determination to grow.

“This job gave me more than money—it gave me purpose,” says Audra Feinstein, one of many women whose life has been transformed by Her 2nd Chance. “Every dollar I earn reminds me that I’m rebuilding my life, one honest step at a time.”

Since 2018, Her 2nd Chance has paid over $1 million in wages to more than 100 women in recovery. With each paycheck comes more than financial stability—it’s a step toward healing, belonging, and independence.

Thoughtful Gifts for a Purposeful Mother’s Day

From personalized keepsakes to artisan-crafted home goods, each item in the Her 2nd Chance shop is made with love and intention. Whether you’re shopping for a mom who loves unique gifts or someone who appreciates meaningful stories, there’s something special waiting for you.

👉 Order today at her2ndchance.org to ensure your Mother’s Day gift arrives in time.

A Note from the Heart

As founder Keely Copeland shares, “Nine years ago, I worked hard to turn my life around after getting sober, but couldn’t find a job because of my background. Like the women we now employ, I was only able to truly move forward when I was given a second chance. This mission is personal—it’s my story, too.”

This Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate not only the mothers who raised us but also the women who are rising. Let’s honor their courage with compassion and their effort with opportunity.

💜 This year, make your Mother’s Day gift one that gives back. Celebrate with purpose. Shop Her 2nd Chance.
