Help Rebuild Desire Jewelry: Support Monir &Jenny's Comeback

Donation protected



In the heart of Glendora, California, there's a small business that has glittered brighter than any gem—Desire Jewelry. For years, it's been more than just a store; it's been a part of the community, a place where love, dedication, and dreams intertwine. Behind this cherished local treasure are Monir and Jennifer, a couple who have poured their hearts and souls into creating not just exquisite jewelry, but lasting memories for all who walk through their doors.



Monir's journey to the United States from Syria is one of resilience and unyielding hope. Arriving at 17 with the heavy responsibility of supporting his widowed mother and nine siblings, he had little more than the dream of a better life. With no college education and facing the challenges of a new country, Monir discovered his passion as a jeweler. This passion became the cornerstone of his and Jennifer's life, leading them to open Desire Jewelry in Glendora, where they have become beloved members of the community.


Monir, an avid bible group member and a devoted member of the church, alongside Jennifer, has not only built a business but a family within this community. As parents to two children, their roots run deep in love, faith, and commitment to helping others.


This week, tragedy struck when Desire Jewelry was robbed. Thieves broke in by drilling a hole into the ceiling, bypassing security measures and making off with approximately $311,000 worth of jewelry. This wasn't just merchandise; it was Monir and Jennifer's life savings, representing years of hard work and dedication. Devastatingly, the couple had no insurance policy to cover this immense loss.



Now, more than ever, Monir and Jennifer need our support. The loss they face is not just financial; it's personal and deeply affecting. They have given so much to the community, touching lives with their warmth, generosity, and kindness. It's time for us to give back and help them rebuild what was unjustly taken.

**How You Can Help:**

Your donation, no matter how small, can make a significant difference during this challenging time. Funds raised will go directly towards recovering some of the losses Monir and Jennifer have faced, helping them restock their inventory and hire a private investigator to track down the thieves, and supporting them as they work to rebuild Desire Jewelry. Additionally, your support will serve as a beacon of hope, showcasing the power of community and the strength found in unity.

Even if you're unable to contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser on your social media or with your community can help spread the word and gather more support for Monir and Jennifer.

Let's come together to help rebuild Desire Jewelry, supporting Monir and Jennifer in rising from this adversity stronger and more united than ever. Let's show them they're
not alone in this, and together, we can restore the sparkle to Desire Jewelry.
