This Week Decides Whether These Stories Are Preserved — or Lost

America is approaching its 250th anniversary.

Across all 50 states, the voices, stories, and lived experiences that define this country are disappearing faster than we can document them.

This project exists to capture them — in real time — before they are gone.

And now, the next 7 days determine whether it moves forward at full scale.

The Ask (Direct)

We are raising $100,000 in 7 days to launch the full project.

Not to test it.
Not to plan it.
To launch it.

This funding activates the mobile studio, secures production, and allows us to begin documenting voices across America immediately.

If we reach the goal, we move.
If we do not, the timeline shifts — and stories are lost.

Why Now?

The 250th anniversary of the United States is not theoretical — it is here.

There will never be another first 250.

We have a narrow window to document communities, small towns, founders, veterans, artists, families, and everyday Americans whose stories may never be recorded again.

This is not about content.

This is about preservation.

Funding Transparency

Every dollar raised is applied directly to activating and sustaining the project.

Production

50 books written, one for each state to be published via KDP by May 31, 2026. Our master copy (North Carolina) is fully researched and ready for formatting.

Filming, audio recording, editing, post-production, and media development necessary to document each state with professional quality and historical integrity.

Travel

Transportation and logistics required to reach communities across all 50 states — not just major cities, but the places rarely seen or heard.

Equipment

Mobile studio setup, cameras, microphones, lighting, archival tools, and data storage to ensure professional capture and long-term preservation.

Publishing

Development, formatting, design, and national distribution of books, documentary materials, podcast episodes, and digital releases.

Preservation

Secure archiving, digital backups, and long-term storage to ensure these stories are protected and accessible for generations to come.

Transparency builds trust. Accountability builds legacy.

What This Really Is

This is not a donation drive.

This is a founding moment.

Those who step forward in this 7-day window become part of the foundation of something that will outlast all of us.

History will move forward regardless.
The question is whether we help preserve it.

The Timeline

This campaign runs for 7 days only.

We will share progress publicly each day.
Supporter positions are limited.
Momentum matters.

If you believe these voices deserve to be captured —
If you believe America’s story is worth preserving —
If you believe future generations should hear from this generation directly —

Now is the moment.

Join as a Founding Supporter.

Because once these stories are gone, they are gone.
