Giving Back: The Heart Behind the Gift from the Storm Collection
When we first introduced the Gift from the Storm collection, it was a deeply personal story—one rooted in resilience, protection, and connection. These million-year-old shark tooth fossils, unearthed in the wake of Hurricane Helene, hold a special significance. They remind us not only of the strength we carry within but also of the people and places that shape who we are. Now, we're excited to share how this collection is more than just a reflection of that strength. It's also a way to give back to the very community that inspired it.
Supporting Indian Rocks Beach and Beyond
The Tampa Bay area, and specifically Indian Rocks Beach, is more than just where these fossils were discovered—it's where our family home stands. This home was cherished by Ronnie, who passed away earlier this year, and we have been caring for it since. It’s the backdrop to so many of our personal memories and a place of shared history with family and friends. Hurricane Helene and its aftermath impacted so many in this area, and the damage was a stark reminder of how fragile, yet enduring, our coastal communities are.
To honor this place and the people who make it special, 10% of all sales from the Gift from the Storm collection will be donated directly to those affected. This includes local friends and neighbors who were impacted by the hurricanes, helping them rebuild and find hope amid the storm's destruction.
Partnering with Samaritan's Purse
In addition to supporting local neighbors, we are proud to partner with Samaritan's Purse, a global organization dedicated to providing relief in times of crisis. Their efforts to help communities rebuild after natural disasters align closely with our mission for this collection. A portion of the proceeds will go toward their disaster relief programs, ensuring that resources reach those in need, both in Florida and beyond.
A Collective Act of Strength
Every piece in this collection carries a story of protection and resilience—not just for the wearer but for the community it supports. When you wear a piece from the Gift from the Storm collection, you’re not just showcasing a relic of strength from the ocean’s depths. You’re also taking part in a collective effort to uplift those who have weathered their own storms.
Join Us in Giving Back
We invite you to be part of this journey—a journey of honoring the past, cherishing the present, and investing in a stronger future. Together, we can turn the strength symbolized by these fossils into real support for those who need it most.
Thank you for standing with us, for celebrating resilience, and for giving back. This life is a blessing, and we’re grateful to share it with a community that inspires and uplifts us every day.
