Our Story
A MISSION BORN FROM GRATITUDE AND PURPOSE.
Our original and authentic designs represent Direction, Gratitude and Love. Give Thanks™
In 2023, my childhood friend and I each received a life-altering diagnosis of different forms of cancer that sent us on a journey through chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy and countless scans and tests. Along the way, we came face-to-face with the realities both remarkable and troubling of our healthcare system.
From that experience a deep and humbling renewed sense of gratitude took root, for life, for healing, and for the people and resources that made recovery possible.
It's from this place of gratitude and purpose that our philanthropic mission was born.
We launched this memorabilia store not just to share our symbol of gratitude, but to help build something lasting: a foundation committed to easing the burden for other.
Proceeds from every item sold will directly support the operational needs of our foundation, allowing us to dedicate 100 percent of donations and fundraising efforts to helping individuals access timely diagnostic tests and urgent treatment, the very interventions that saved our lives but are out of reach for too many.
Our page banner features the blue cancer awareness ribbon , representing prostate cancer, over our logo in red, the color symbolizing blood cancer. The two diseases we are personally recovering from. These colors speak not just to our battles, but to a broader story of resilience, advocacy and our commitment to standing with other on their own journeys.
The need is great
One in eight men and one in six Black men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Blood cancer affects one in every sixteen men and one in every twenty-two women, and it remains the most common cancer among children.
Ladies , unfortunately there is a similar stat without the color discrepancy . 1 in 8 of you will be diagnosed with breast cancer in your lifetime.
We know that behind every statistic is a person, a family facing uncertainty, delays and financial strain. Through this initiative, we hope to turn our survival into someone else's lifeline.
We invite you to join us by wearing our symbol of gratitude, by sharing our message and by contributing to a movement rooted in empathy and action.
Together, we can help ensure that no one faces a critical diagnosis without timely support.
Give Thanks™ for being part of our mission.
To reduce our carbon imprint we have chosen to use (DTG) direct -to- garment printing process on all clothing items allowing us to print products on demand instead of bulk, eliminating over production for us and the world.
Blessings and Love.
