Taylor, who runs the page and lives in North Carolina, found numerous photos scattered from the wrath of Hurricane Helene in October 2024.

In an attempt to reunite families with their precious and irreplaceable lost photos, she posts them to Instagram as a virtual lost and found.

Taylor also accepts photos that others find via a PO Box, and she will mail them free of charge to their rightful owners, and even hand-deliver them to people who are still in the area.

Scrolling through the pictures, you can see personal memories like baby photos, grandparents, couples, wedding pictures, and even a full wedding album.

Given the loss of life and people missing from the storm, these photos could now be priceless to people impacted by Helene.

Taylor is the kind of person that should be showcased everywhere, taking the time to find these photos, categorize them, post them, and return them to their owners while asking nothing in return.

An amazing and kind hearted human.
