Kareena's Story - An Artisan from India

At the age of 16, Kareena faced the heart-wrenching loss of her father, thrusting her into the responsibility of caring for her five younger siblings alongside her mother. With limited options, she found herself in the demanding world of the circus, enduring 15 grueling years for a meager monthly salary of only $16—the most difficult phase of her life.

In the midst of such hardship, she crossed paths with our contacts in India. Under their mentorship, she honed various practical skills, discovering a particular talent for crafting exquisite bags for women—a dream she had kept since her youth. This was more than a story of mere survival; it unfolded as a narrative of hope and dignity.

The Story of Hope's Gate

Hope’s Gate was founded in 2011 after Patty Bauman traveled to India and witnessed the heartbreaking realities faced by orphans, street children, and survivors of human trafficking. Moved to act, she partnered with shelters and safe houses, launching a jewelry initiative to create sustainable change.

What began with humble materials has grown into a powerful mission—empowering vulnerable individuals through skill development, dignified work, and the creation of beautiful, handcrafted products. Every piece tells a story of hope, resilience, and transformation.
