Giving Back

The stories no one is left to tell.

We built Xyodex because every life is worth remembering. Two initiatives carry that belief to the people who can't ask for it themselves — the forgotten, and the ones who served. Both are coming soon.

Why we do this

"We believe every person who ever lived had a story worth telling. Every single one.

The settler whose letters sit in a drawer. The veteran who never said much about the war. The ones whose headstones stopped getting visitors a hundred years ago."

Most of them have no one left to commission a tribute. These projects are how we go back for them — at no cost to anyone.

Project 01 · Coming soon

The Legacy Project

Every month we’ll produce one complete tribute — researched, filmed, narrated, and published free, forever — for a historical or community figure history nearly forgot. The same tribute a paying family receives. No shortcuts because it’s free.

We’re starting with Utah’s pioneers, then going wherever the nominations lead — any community, any era, anyone whose story deserved better than silence.

Nominations open early — the first tribute is revealed at launch.

Project 02 · Coming soon

Xyodex Valor

We’ll sit with veterans — patiently, on their own time — and help them record their service history in their own voice. Free. Then we preserve it and submit it to the nation’s official archive, the Library of Congress Veterans History Project.

So many service stories are being lost because they’re never captured — veterans rarely open up to a stranger with a clipboard on a schedule. A patient listener that simply lets them talk, with no judgment and no rush, changes that. It’s a record for their family, and the right thing to do.

Free to every veteran · Coming soon

Some stories can’t pay to be remembered. Those are exactly the ones we’re here for.
