OUR STORY

The FORGET ME NOT sticker was inspired by a father who appeared on the Oprah Show a few years ago. He shared his tragic experience of forgetting his child in his car in the hope his story would save other families from suffering the same tragedy. Being a parent myself, I can imagine his despair and pain when he realized he had forgotten to drop the baby off at daycare.

I knew I couldn't just listen to the reports on the nightly news and read about them in the newspaper. In some small measure, I needed to find a way help. Thus the Forget Me Not sticker was designed.

My heart breaks everytime I hear of another incident and I have to update the number of children. Maybe next year the number will be ZERO.

While hyperthermia is the primary focus of the FORGET ME NOT sticker, there are many other dangers that can and do occur to children left alone in automobiles; playing with matches, shifting the car into drive or reverse gear, getting out to go to the bathroom, to name a few.

Although the FORGET ME NOT sticker was designed primarily for use on automobiles, it can be used anywhere as a personal reminder. As an example, a FORGET ME NOT sticker can be placed on the entry and exit doors of your
place of business as a reminder for customers and employees, on your front and
back door at home, to be the first thing you see as you start your day. Place the sticker anywhere it will trigger your memory and help you avoid the unthinkable.
