Our Vision

To engage communities in embracing stories of all individuals as heroes of their own personal journey and, in that process, become more united in compassion, understanding and empathy as we ​realize every story really does matter!

Our Angel Series is dedicated to children who left this life much too soon. No footprint is too small to leave an impact. My Story Matters storybooks honor the journeys of these precious children, while providing comfort and perspective for families who have lost a child.

We partner with My Hero Journey to provide a power curriculum for individuals, families and teachers to help students understand that truly their story matters. 
This dynamic and unique program is not an add-on to already busy schedules and overflowing lesson plans.

Our Champion Series is dedicated to building a community where people tell individual stories---from seemingly  different cultures, languages, religions, ethnicities, socioeconomic conditions and life experiences--only to discover and empathize with the universal humanity in each of us. We are looking for community organizations that want to partner with us to provide the power of story in their area.

More About Us
Picture
​Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds work together to create custom storybooks for a wide range of children. Each of these storybooks feature the child’s own photos and offers a positive, personalized message for the child. These storybooks help improve self esteem, build confidence, inspire imagination, and give a child in transition the power to dream of a hopeful future. We are so grateful for the help of local photographers, interns, Board Members and numerous community volunteers that make each of these books possible.

We accomplish this process through accepting and reviewing nominations of individuals who could benefit from this service and then selecting individuals to receive this gift.

My Story Matters needs you!
​
We need your help in expanding this life changing ripple effect. There are several ways in which you can contribute.  We need your donations to help us tell these stories, we need your nominations of individuals who’s story needs told, we need your support!

I ask that you take a minute to consider how you could join this great movement. I am excited to continue this journey and hope you are in a position to join me!
