Stories Vanish

THE URGENCY
Every day, a library burns down
About 10,000 people from the older generations pass away every day in the US alone. Each one carries decades of stories, relationships, and hard-won lessons that have never been written down anywhere.
Families Wait Too Long
Children and grandchildren almost always say the same thing: “I wish I'd asked more questions while there was still time.”
Isolation Hurts
Too many people who have lived remarkable lives feel unheard and invisible. Sharing their story gives them a voice, an audience, and renewed purpose.
Skills Are Vanishing
Rare trades, factory techniques, hands-on craft. Knowledge passed through apprenticeship for centuries is disappearing because nobody thought to record it.
Who this is for
Three doors into the same project.
For storytellers and their families

Why this matters
Every life is a library.
We make sure it never burns down.
Books hold ideas. But the feel of a life fully lived, the judgment, the warmth, the hard earned lessons, lives only in the telling. We capture it with consent, in the storyteller’s own voice, and keep it safe for the people who will need it most.
Help us capture the stories before they're gone.
If you have lived a long life full of experience, or you love someone who has. There is a story waiting to be told. Share yours, help a parent or grandparent share theirs, or bring Waterfall to the community where you work.
