About WhenIWasHere.org

Built with Care. Made to Last.

Our Mission

At WhenIWasHere.org, we believe the words we leave behind can be one of the most powerful gifts we give. This platform was created so your love, advice, and memories can be shared at the exact moments they'll mean the most—today, tomorrow, or even generations from now.

Our purpose is simple: to help people preserve their legacy of love in a safe, private, and lasting way.

Why We Exist

Social networks are noisy. Public posts fade quickly. We wanted something different—something private, safe, and timeless.

WhenIWasHere.org is designed as a dedicated platform where you can capture your love in words, photos, and videos, and trust that they'll be there when it matters most—whether you're here to share them or not.

Built for Permanence

This isn't a side project—it's a long-term commitment. We've built this platform with reliability and continuity at its core:

Secure Infrastructure – Every message is encrypted and stored with trusted, long-term partners using enterprise-grade systems.
Multiple Backups – Copies of your words, photos, and videos are preserved in separate secure locations, so they're never dependent on a single system.
Access, No Matter What – If the day ever comes when we can't continue, we'll ensure every user has a way to securely download and keep their messages.
Continuity Planning – The platform is designed so it can be handed off to a trusted partner or nonprofit to continue the mission if needed.

Why We Charge

This isn't just a free service that disappears after a few years. We've priced WhenIWasHere so it's sustainable long-term, while still meeting the needs of families everywhere.

Your first message is free so you can try it, and beyond that you only purchase messages as you go—no subscriptions, no ongoing fees.

After that, every purchase supports the infrastructure, security, and partnerships that keep your legacy safe for years to come.

We believe charging fairly is the only way to ensure your words will truly stand the test of time.

Our Promise

WhenIWasHere.org is more than a platform.

It's a commitment to privacy, security, and lasting connection.

Your trust means everything to us. We've built this with the same care and permanence we'd want for our own family.
