✈️ Read Why We Flew to Save a Mom's Photos. Digitized Same Day—A True Story!

Friend, a family waited 4 years. We couldn’t wait another day.


When most companies get an email like we did, they wouldn't reply. We not only did, but immediately flew out to rescue a lifetime of photos to get scanned.


Four years ago, a Texas mom received a ScanMyPhotos eGift card from her daughters. But life happened, and her irreplaceable family memories stayed boxed up until this week.


We’ve heard too many heartbreaking stories—like the Pacific Palisades, CA customer who mailed us 10,000 negatives just before the wildfires destroyed their home. Or the customer who planned to scan everything, ordered our fill-the-box service last summer, and waited. They needed to cancel the order because their home and all those pictures were destroyed.


So, when we received an email asking about redeeming an eGift card from 2021, we knew what to do. Waiting wasn’t an option.

✅ Mitch Goldstone, our CEO, booked a last-minute flight.

✅ Landed in Texas just as tornado warnings hit the area.

✅ Arrived at her doorstep at 8 AM to personally collect her photos.

✅ Gave her a GPS tracker to follow every step of the journey.

✅ Had everything digitized and in her inbox by 8 PM the same day.

Upon arriving in Texas, we experienced a Tornado warning, 70 MPH+ wind gusts, and a pelting rain storm. This symbolized the urgency to protect those photos before a weather disaster risked destroying all those family photos.

They waited four years. We showed up at their door in Texas. A lifetime of memories saved. She almost lost everything—we couldn’t let that happen.

One unforgettable trip to save these lifetime of photo memories. If you, or someone you know has put off digitizing their photos, you’re not alone.

Upon arriving at her doorstep, we also brought her a Tile GPS tracker so she could follow every step of the journey on her phone.
