These camera straps at @fotostrap help to fund Fotolanthropy, a company having produced more than 20 fact-based films of remarkable people defying great odds. (This is the Bear Strap). Katie (the owner) is the producer of 2 award-winning films including Travis: A Soldier's Story. I bawled while watching this soldier who lost both his arms and legs after stepping on an IED overseas..yet overcoming great odds to exude positivity, stand on prosthetics and learn to interact physically with his wife and child. Thank you to Katie and the team at @fotostrap for all you do. 🙌🏻 Travis..there are no words. You are such a source of inspiration and hope.

10% gives back to Fotolanthropy's current story.

Every purchase gives back to a greater cause and helps Fotolanthropy document stories of hope! 10% of this season's purchases will be donated to Fotolanthropy's newest feature documentary in-the-making, 7 Yards: The Chris Norton Story. 7 Yards is a feature-length documentary that will inspire you to overcome. After a life-altering tackle on the college football field, Chris Norton was told he would never move again. Through grit and faith, he retrained his body and spirit to walk the most important yardage of his life: seven yards down the aisle with his bride, Emily Summers.

After being released by PEOPLE, the 7 Yards trailer footage went viral and has been shared across the globe on all major media outlets.

We can't thank our Fotostrap customers enough for being a part of this movement and contributing to such an important cause of producing positive stories to inspire the world.

The Travis Fotostrap

is named after United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills of the 82nd Airborne. Travis lost portions of both arms and legs as the result of an IED (improvised explosive device) on April 10, 2012 while on patrol during his third tour of duty in Afghanistan. Travis is one of just five quadruple-amputees from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to survive their injuries. Award-winning Travis: A Soldier's Story is Fotolanthropy’s first full feature documentary that takes an intimate look into the life of this wounded solider as he faces the unimaginable physical and emotional challenges of this life-altering injury. Travis’s story sheds light on the daily inward and outward struggles of our wounded veterans and the difficult rehabilitation processes they face; and Travis’s openness and incredible perseverance challenge us to look at the way we deal with our own personal trials in life.

The Titus Fotostrap

In the face of these disabilities, the Daily family has experienced Unexpected Joy and finds strength in God and His purposes. They know difficult times are still yet to come, but they choose to see each day as another blessing with their little fighter, Titus.

The Mint Fotostrap
