About Laura

I create things I wish I had as a Copt growing up in America, so our kids have a better understanding of their faith than I did.

When my parents arrived to the U.S. there was only one Coptic church in our state, and it was two hours away—a difficult trip for a family with three small children.

My story is not unique. There are so many Coptic communities all over the U.S., Canada, and Australia (and elsewhere) trying to pass the faith on to the kids with very limited resources—especially in English.

As a mom of two, I understand that in Western society and in this modern era, it can be especially difficult to capture and keep our children’s attention and eyes on God. But working together, by His grace and through the power of the Holy Spirit, it can be done.

Every product in this shop is something I wanted. Something I felt was missing for me as a child, as a servant, or as a Coptic Christian trying to grow in faith.

Now I’m sharing it with you, in case you too are wishing for it.
