Often times we lack the words for the gratitude we feel towards
those around us who have meant the most. We at Parachute Promise had
such people that stood by us through some of the most difficult times in our lives.
We felt that simply saying, "thank you to them was not enough.
So in September of 2007, the first Parachute Pin Necklaces were gifted to four special
people. Over two past years, that small gesture has turned into a company.
The response we have received has been overwhelming. People are thirsty
for good news and hope, especially today. Our vision is that this gift
inspires everyone to do more. Share more. Laugh more. Help one another
more. It is in the selfless act of giving which lay our greatest rewards.
There are people in this world that do amazing things every day. We imagine
you know some of them. Everyone has a story worth sharing. We are certain
that you have a story within you in which others can find inspiration.
Share your story. Share your hope.
Our products are hand tied by our closest friends and family. Our vision
at Parachute Promise is to one day have each of our products hand tied
by members in our local community who can benefit the most. We will pay
a "living wage" and give them the tools that they need to be
successful and independent. We believe in all people, regardless of circumstance.
It is the premise upon which our non-profit "S.O.F.T. Landings"
was founded.
S.O.F.T. Landings, Solution Oriented Fellowship Teams, is the non-profit
side of Parachute Promise. We are grateful to those who have helped us
along the way, who have ensured our soft landings, and we are dedicated
to assisting others in return.
Our vision is to put a network of resources in place which provides training,
technical assistance, financial support and leadership to help families
within our local community.
Our network will also consist of volunteers who are willing to donate
their time, their talents and their gifts. They will pass those tools
along to others who can benefit the most, and the most amazing part of
all, it will be free to anyone and everyone.
10% of EVERY sale goes directly to making this a reality in our community
which we hope is only the first of many communities across the nation.
