Your Life Matters, and Your Stories Deserve Preservation

A little bit of our story

Our Story

How much do you really know about your grandparents or great-grandparents? We want your future generations to say, “a lot!” The story of you is the story of them. 

We have a tender-hearted team of story coaches, writers, book designers, and staff located in greater Kansas City. Our focus is to capture as many life stories as possible with a fun and efficient process. 

Thank you for being a part of our story, 

John and Jayme Resnik 

Our Name

We owe it to Pearl. 

As a young girl, Jayme spent carefree afternoons on Pearl’s porch swing. The stories they shared fostered a strong sense of identity in Jayme. 

Everyone should have a Pearl. 

OUR MISSION

Save Life Stories for Future Generations

OUR GOAL

1 Million Stories Saved By 2028

OUR HEART

Part of our profits are dedicated to outreach programs designed to capture the life stories of the less fortunate

We have very much enjoyed, helping people gather, tell, and preserve their life stories over the last several years.

At this time, life has other plans for us, so we are ceasing operations at Porch Swing.

If you have any questions please contact us at info@porchswingstories.com

We recommend that you save any stories you placed on your Storysite that you choose to keep prior to December 31, 2025. (Open the chapter you want to save, hit Edit My Chapter, and copy and paste to Microsoft Word or another format.)

Thanks!
