It started with a gift

One video. A lasting feeling.

In the summer of 2013, Miki asked 20 of Andrew’s closest friends and family to record what they loved about him. Their messages became a 20-minute birthday video.

For Andrew, it was an unforgettable gift. For Miki, putting it together was hard work. That experience inspired Tribute: make it easier for anyone to give someone that same feeling.
