glassybaby, a symbol of hope & light

Glassybaby

The Glassybaby founder Lee Rhodes was fighting her third battle with cancer and raising three small children when she first dropped a tea light into a handmade, colorful, glass cup.  Lee found great hope and healing in the soothing light and found the peace and calm she needed to heal.  She wanted to spread that hope.  She began hiring artists to make the glass votives.  glassybaby was born.
Lee remembers meeting people in waiting rooms who could not afford basic day to day costs like bus fare and groceries during treatment.  Health insurance does not help with those needs but today, glassybaby has donated more than $750,000. from sales to charities dedicated to healing and helping patients with those costs during chemotherapy.
