Every Thread Is a Story. Every Story Is a Lifeline.
Threads to Hope Looms
Connecting you to the power of storytelling and the healing arts.
Inspired by HopeWay's Looms, the Threads to Hope looms are handcrafted by Shane Baskin Hitlon and specifically made to travel throughout the community, collecting stories of hope, courage, and support, inside cute little 'Hope Suitcases'.
Our team would love to provide a Threads to Hope Loom with everything you need
to weave your own healing stories into our interactive exhibit.
Learn how to bring a Threads to Hope Loom to your next gathering or tabling event.
Help us build a bridge to wellness, one string at a time.
Through the TRANSFORMATIONAL power of Storytelling
Turning Stories into String
Watch as Threads to Hope events pop up throughout the city. These events will help us collect the string for the massive string art bridge.
These are creative & educational community collaborations and storytelling events. Anyone can host one of these courageous connection events.
threads to Hope is Building COmmunity
Building Community Connections
Threads to Hope events unite nonprofits, community organizations, and individuals in collaborative gatherings that connect healing arts with storytelling. These events invite you to share your story—whether through a heartfelt card, a video, or any medium that resonates with you. Each story becomes an actual thread to be, woven into a massive string art bridge that represents courage, healing, and hope.
By connecting organizations to the power of storytelling and the healing arts, Threads to Hope amplifies the impact of nonprofits while fostering a network of support. Together, we’re transforming isolation into community and individual stories into a collective triumph.

Weaving it all together
The Stories, The Thread and The Weavers
These threads will come together throughout the year as we collectively spread courage through our stories and strings.
During select Bridge Project events, the community will have a chance to interact and help complete this massive string art bridge.
Each participant can make a courageous connection, whether through their story or having been moved by someone else's story.
Everyone will have the opportunity to spread courage by adding their thread and weaving a powerful testament to collective growth, love, hope, and resilience.

THE TRANSFORMATIONAL POWER OF TELLING YOUR STORY.
Imagine your story as a healing sound—a resonance that echoes wellness and compassion—a golden thread gifted to lift others from the shadows of mental illness and carry them to the other side of crisis. What if your journey—your struggles, breakthroughs, and hard-won victories—could become a beacon for others, guiding them across a bridge from illness to wellness?
A roadmap for those on their path to recovery?
Through the Building Bridges project, we invite you to share your unique journey to wellness and contribute a “golden thread” to our collective tapestry of healing. This is more than just storytelling;
it's an act of courage and connection, a chance to transform your experience into hope for others.
