Shokoro Handmade
Our Story of Resilience & Jewelry with Purpose
WE GIVE BACK
To support this fight, 5% of every purchase of our jewelry is donated to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Snow Run.
A Journey of Strength
Affordable Quality for Gemstone Lovers
Shokoro Handmade was born from a deep belief in the healing power of gemstones and the resilience of the human spirit.
Our Toronto-based online jewelry brand was founded by a woman who experienced breast cancer firsthand. She understands that beauty is often forged in life’s most difficult moments—much like the high-quality natural stones we use in our designs.
The battle against cancer isn't just fought in a hospital room; it’s fought in the quiet moments of recovery and the overwhelming stress of daily life. During her own journey, our founder was supported by the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Snow Run. While doctors focus on the physical cure, there is a mental and financial weight to recovery that no one should have to carry alone. Shokoro Jewelry was created to give back to the community that provided a lifeline when it was needed most.
Why We Give Back
Breast Cancer Realities in Canada
Recovery takes time—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
In Canada, breast cancer remains the most common cancer for women, with 1 in 8 expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime. While survival rates have improved to approximately 89% in 2026, the financial burden remains a staggering reality. On average, a cancer diagnosis in Canada can cost a patient nearly $33,000 in out-of-pocket expenses and lost income.
Your Impact
How Your Purchase Helps
The Kelly Shires Foundation is a "Women Helping Women" organization providing direct financial assistance for the things insurance often overlooks:
-
Practical Lifelines: Help with rent, groceries, and utilities so survivors can focus on healing.
-
Essential Care: Funding for wigs, prosthetics, and specialized medical supplies.
-
Access to Treatment: Covering the costs of transportation and lodging for hospital visits.
