This business was founded by a coincidence.
My husband and I ran a small store in Florida and lived a quiet, simple life. But everything changed two years ago when we lost our daughter. She disappeared without a trace. We did everything we could—posted flyers, searched everywhere, and prayed endlessly—but we never found her. The grief was unbearable. Life felt empty, and we struggled to move forward.
One afternoon, a man on a motorcycle stopped by our shop. He had been traveling across the country, handing out flyers of his missing two-year-old daughter. His face, worn with exhaustion and hope, stayed with us. After he left, my husband and I sat quietly, staring at the flyer he had given us. It brought us back to our own search and the helplessness of trying to get strangers to notice and care.
That night, we made a decision. We couldn’t save our own child, but maybe we could help others. We realized that our store could be more than just a business. People from different places ordered from us, and we saw an opportunity: every package we shipped could carry a flyer of a missing child—a face, a name, and a story that needed to be seen.
We worked hard to take our store online. My husband learned how to manage orders and shipping, while I contacted organizations dedicated to finding missing children. With each package we sent, we included a flyer with a photo, details, and information about how to report tips.
At first, it felt like such a small effort, but we held onto the hope that it might help. Then, one day, we received an email from a mother. Her son had been found because a neighbor saw the flyer in one of our packages and called the hotline. That moment changed everything. It was proof that even the smallest action could make a difference.
Though we never found our daughter, this work has given us purpose. Every flyer we send carries hope—hope for a child to come home and hope for families searching for answers. Our business is no longer just a store; it is a mission to honor our daughter’s memory and ensure that no missing child is forgotten.
