Rescue Our World was founded on a shared vision of restoring value to people, communities, and the planet.
What began as a simple idea between a mother and daughter has evolved into a global mission to give new purpose to what others discard. Together, Comfort and Judi are bridging the gap between abundance and need, turning decluttered items into tools for empowerment and sustainable change.
