Help Us Build a Lasting Legacy of Kindness Through BE Books & Co.
A Legacy of Love. A Community of Readers. A Place to Give Back.
Some stories change your life forever. Five years ago, ours did. After losing our precious twin girls, Elleana and Isabella, in a tragic car accident, we made a promise that their legacy would not end with us. Instead, it would live on through acts of kindness, compassion, generosity, and service to others. From that promise, the BE Foundation was born—guided by three simple words that continue to shape everything we do: Be Good. Be Kind. Be Love.
Today, we have been given an extraordinary opportunity to take that mission even further.
Our dream is to create BE Books & Co., a charitable bookstore in the heart of downtown Fishers, Indiana. More than a bookstore, it will be a place where stories inspire hope, children discover the joy of reading, neighbors gather, and every purchase helps create a positive impact in our community. We have a goal to have our dream completed by the end of 2026.
This isn't simply about opening a retail store. It's about creating something with lasting purpose. It's about honoring the memory of two beautiful girls by creating a place that gives back every single day.
Our vision is simple:
❤️ Honor our daughters' legacy through kindness and service.
📚 Promote literacy and a lifelong love of reading throughout our community.
🤝 Create a welcoming gathering place where people connect through books & generosity.
🌟 Build a charitable bookstore where every purchase helps support the mission of giving back.
To make this dream a reality, we need your help.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 over the next 90 days to fund the renovation, build-out, shelving, furnishings, equipment, and everything needed to transform this vision into a place our community can proudly call its own.
Every contribution matters. Whether you're able to give $1, $10, $100, or more, every dollar brings us one step closer to opening our doors and creating something truly meaningful. And if you're unable to donate, you can still make an incredible difference by sharing our story.
Share this GoFundMe with your family, friends, coworkers, church, book club, and social media community. One share could inspire someone else to help make this dream a reality. We believe BE Books & Co. can become so much more than a bookstore. We believe it can become a lasting symbol of kindness, literacy, hope, and community—a place where people don't just buy books, but become part of a mission that changes lives.
Every book tells a story. Help us write the next chapter of ours—and create a place where thousands of new stories can begin.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our mission, for honoring the memory of our daughters, and for helping us create something that will continue giving back for generations to come. Together, we can build something truly extraordinary.
Be Good. Be Kind. Be Love. ❤️
