“I am disabled and am no longer looking for perfection in my state of being. As soon as I forgot about all of my own flaws and put my heart into helping, that is when I truly found myself. I want to share the joy of helping others. I would love for everyone to see the beauty in all things.” – David (founder of The Follow Your Hero Foundation)
My name is David and I am the founder of the Follow Your Hero Foundation and am the craftsman of the products featured and sold. Inspired by personal experiences that helped me overcome struggles, my goal is to do the same for others. The Follow Your Hero Foundation is focused on supporting those with disabilities by donating 50% of proceeds to The Malinois Foundation.
In my craft, I intentionally use repurposed wood and embrace a natural, imperfect style in crafting these goods. As you’ll see, some of these products have bubbles, holes, or other imperfections which makes each product unique. This approach reflects the foundation’s overarching mission: to emphasize the worth of every individual, celebrate new beginnings, and encourage community awareness of the beauty and potential found in each person. The focus is on celebrating individuality and appreciating unique characteristics through the artistic expression of recycled materials. I’d love to share more of my story with you!
