Luggage Tags That Carry A Story

Actually, they are nothing short of carrying emotional value as well.

My friend Christina recently reached out to me regarding her nonprofit called Being Positioned. She was wondering if Laurel Reath and their artisans would be able to create custom luggage tags for her journey recipients.

First, a little backstory:

Christina's nonprofit provides one-in-a-lifetime journeys to adults 21+ diagnosed with life-altering rare genetic disorders.

So if you or someone you know lives with either NF2, VHL, or Schwannomatosis, please check out Christina and her mission which focuses on improving mental health by creating a shift through travel. Her fortunate journey recipients will be equipped with happy memories to revisit and they will better navigate through everyday life and its struggles. Because all their hard-earned money is already going toward medical bills.

I was blessed to help Christina start her nonprofit (we used to be neighbors and met on our doggie walks) in 2019 by providing graphic design and moral support.

Christina herself was diagnosed with NF2 not that long before in 2016 and is one of the strongest warriors I know. Besides having to deal with her own health challenges, she started a nonprofit from scratch to help others.

Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic arose at the exact time we were getting ready for the first journey recipients and it wasn’t until now that this first journey is finally happening.

This brings us to the present:

I know Christina is very excited about all the firsts that are about to take place but I'm sure she is also super nervous about how everything unfolds since she wants to give everyone an unforgettable experience.

And even though it was a tight turnaround schedule on our end, we are extremely happy that she chose us and trusted us to make this happen for her and her journey recipients.

Both Being Positioned and Laurel Reath thrive on the value of providing that special and very personal touch. Which made this collab so much sweeter.

So sweet I had to share it because that way I too can revisit it anytime.

HAPPY TRAVELING to the Being Positioned journey recipients!
