Our real-life mules have taken on an animated twist to tell you about our special children's book, Mules On A Mission--Delivering Hope After Helene!! Check it out!

The Mules on a Mission Series
Delivering Hope After Helene
Our first book in this engaging children's literature series introduces readers to the incredible Mission Mules. A string of faithful pack mules serving in disaster relief efforts during Hurricane Helene and across multiple states.
When roads are washed out and vehicles can’t pass, these steady-footed servants carry supplies to people who would otherwise be unreachable. Through powerful storytelling that resonates with both children and adults, this series highlights:
Faith in action
Compassion in crisis
Service beyond comfort
God’s provision in the hardest seasons
The Mules on a Mission series not only celebrates perseverance and teamwork but also serves as a valuable Christian resource, showcasing the beauty of showing up when it matters most. These faith-based stories remind us that sometimes the greatest impact comes one steady step at a time.

Gentle reminders that you are never walking alone, supported by Christian resources.
We believe God is with us on every trail we take....guiding, strengthening, and reminding us that no step is ever walked alone.
Born and raised in California, our friendship began while raising our children side-by-side in a quaint Gold Country town. Though life led us to opposite coasts for more than a decade.....Michele raising her four children in the East, Karen raising her three boys in the West....God was still faithfully writing our story.
Nearly twelve years later, He reunited us in North Carolina, less than an hour apart. Just months after Karen’s family arrived, Hurricane Helene struck. Michele’s husband, Mike, and his pack mule string provided life-saving support to families in unreachable areas, and together we stepped in to serve. What began as neighbors helping neighbors became Mission Mules, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to bringing hope in times of disaster.
Now as Grammie and Mimi, we cherish time with our grandchildren while continuing to share God’s love and light through Mission Mules, and through the stories He has placed on our hearts to write.
Our prayer is that our journey reminds you that God always has a plan...and He places the right people on your trail at exactly the right time.
We’re grateful to walk this path together, and honored to walk alongside you.
