Through our "Adopt-A-State" program and cards available on our website, we share The Dragonfly Story and include a dragonfly keychain as a symbol of connection and hope. We also reach out to schools and communities affected by tragedy, sending cards and donating books to help support healing. Our focus is on being there when others may no longer know what to say, offering a quiet reminder that love endures. Our Dragonfly 'Message of Hope' story and keychain sent 10,775 packets to grieving families in 2025 impacting over 21,550 people. The packets were sent to family members of those found in obituaries from around the US and around the world. 0 27650 Annual Celebration.
