Dear Survivor: A Movement of Strength and Hope
Dear Survivor is more than a brand—it’s a lifeline, a voice, and a reminder that no matter how dark life gets, survival is possible.
Born from personal struggle, Dear Survivor is an anthem for those who have faced pain, rejection, and self-doubt yet continue to fight. It speaks to the people who have been bullied, excluded, or told they weren’t enough. It’s for the ones who have battled depression, suicidal thoughts, or moments where giving up felt easier than going on.
But here’s the truth: You are still here. And that matters.
Dear Survivor is a safe space, a movement that says, “I see you. I hear you. You are not alone.” It’s about standing together, reminding each other that life is worth fighting for. Every story of survival—whether it’s taking one more breath, choosing hope over despair, or reaching out for help—deserves to be honored.
I survived. You survived. We survived.
This is not just a brand; it’s a mission. A fight against the darkness. A beacon of hope for those who feel unseen. Dear Survivor is here to save lives, one reminder, one story, one survivor at a time.
Meet the CEO
I grew up feeling excluded—not by choice, but by circumstance. I have Cerebral Palsy, which causes me to walk with a limp on my left side. Throughout my life, I endured relentless bullying. The pain was overwhelming, affecting not just my body but my mind. It led me to question my existence, battle self-doubt, and struggle with depression.
As I grew older and went to college, things changed. For the first time, people genuinely wanted to be my friend. It was unfamiliar, but over time, I learned to embrace it.
That journey inspired Dear Survivor—an anthem for every child and adult who has struggled long enough. It’s for those who are ready to stand up and say, “I survived.”
I survived. You survived. We survived.
Message For You
A Personal Message from Me to You
To anyone reading this who feels lost, broken, or like the world would be better without you—please hear me.
I know what it’s like to feel invisible. To wonder if the pain will ever stop. To question whether you matter. But you do. You are not alone in this fight, and no matter how heavy your heart feels right now, there is hope. There is a future waiting for you that you can’t even imagine yet.
I created Dear Survivor because I know what it’s like to stand at the edge of giving up. But I also know the power of choosing to stay. I know how much it means to have someone tell you, “I see you. I hear you. I care about you.” So let me be that person for you today.
Please don’t give up. You are stronger than the voices telling you otherwise. You deserve love, happiness, and a chance to heal. And if no one has told you this lately—I am proud of you. Every day you keep going is a victory.
If you ever need a reminder, just look at these words:
I survived. You survived. We survived.
And so will you. Keep fighting. Keep believing. Keep surviving. The world needs you here.
With love and strength,
Aubrea.
