Our story

It started with a box nobody wanted.

We're high school students in Cypress, Texas. We noticed two things happening on opposite sides of the same city: perfectly good medical supplies getting thrown out, and families skipping the drugstore because the math didn't work.

So we started moving supplies from one side to the other. Seventeen thousand supplies later, we're still doing it, and we've added a one-page guidance sheet to every kit, because supplies without know-how only get you halfway.

Students, surplus supplies, and a lot of hard work.

No warehouse. No payroll. Just a group of people who decided that "somebody should do something" meant us.
