How long does it take to receive my photo if I put a name on the Free Names Waitlist?

I'm so, so glad you put a name down. I get to these as soon as time and extra donations allow, so I don't have an estimated timeframe.

Who writes the names in the sand?

It's me, Becky. During busy seasons, I have a few other friends who are experienced with grief who can help out. Whomever writes your name in the sand will do so with love, and often with a shared nod, sigh, smile, or tears.

Where do you write the names in the sand?

The names are written on one of the beaches in WA state. If this changes and we get volunteers from around the world, I'll let you know here on the FAQ page. Wouldn't that be something...
