VATA
“together” in Fijian, and it perfectly captures our belief that we can accomplish so much more together.
When Crandall lived in Fiji, he experienced life in its simplest form- on dirt floors, without running water or electricity. Watching the locals work together was a humbling experience. Their generosity, knowing they would give the shirt off their backs if you asked. This spirit of community and kindness left a lasting impression on him.
Vision
Our goal is to help bring people together, no matter their circumstances. We believe that everyone deserves connection and a sense of belonging.
Here’s to all the amazing things we’ll achieve Vata!
Fiji 2025
We’re heading to Fiji this year to serve families in remote communities by sharing school supplies, safe water, and everyday care. This trip matters to our family because it’s about simple things that change a day: a sharpened pencil, a clean sip, a light in the dark, a fresh start. If you’d like to stand with us, there are a few meaningful ways to help: Sponsor a Smile (school supplies), Sponsor a Safe Sip (clean water), or Sponsor a Shine (personal care + flashlight). You can also become a Golden Sponsor and cover all three. Prefer something you can wear? Shop Vata merch—every purchase helps move this mission forward. From our family to yours, vinaka vakalevu (thank you so much) for believing with us. Together—vata—we can turn compassion into action, one kit, one classroom, one village at a time.
