Our Story
Andrea's journey began in childhood, shaped by the challenges of orphanhood and the scars left by broken systems and traumatic events. Despite possessing untapped potential and intelligence, her efforts to make a difference went unnoticed.
Upon her arrival in Canada, Andrea made a solemn vow: to carve out a better life for herself and extend a helping hand to others like her, embarking on the solitary journey of orphanhood. Her vision is rooted in the belief that every individual, regardless of their circumstances, deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential and dream big.
With unwavering determination, Andrea champions the transformative power of small steps, recognizing that each act of kindness and support can create a ripple effect that resonates far beyond its initial impact. Our ethos centers on fostering kindness, unity, and joy, serving as a beacon of inspiration for all who encounter our community.
Our Purpose
Around the world, more than 150 million children find themselves orphaned or taking care of compromised adults. This situation puts them at greater risk for social and academic difficulties. Moreover, those already grappling with poverty often confront perilous options, like unsafe institutions or life on the streets.
Andrea, our visionary founder, knows the struggles of orphanhood firsthand and harbors a profound desire to establish a foundation that champions those in similar circumstances one day. Her aspiration is to weave a tapestry of hope and support, enriching the lives of vulnerable individuals, much like the threads of compassion from countless strangers illuminated her path to where she stands today.
As we work towards realizing this dream, thankfully, numerous organizations today are dedicated to assisting these children as they navigate through orphanhood. Epico donates $1 from every purchase you make to Unity 4 Orphans, an organization created to raise awareness, unite communities, and mobilize people towards creatively and tangibly investing in the lives of marginalized children around the world.
Unity 4 Orphans impacts the lives of vulnerable, impoverished children by providing them with long-term support aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty, violence, and human trafficking. They also take periodic service trips to orphanages and community centers, where volunteers can build relationships and play with the children. We encourage you to help!
