DearGrandkids is a family-story preservation brand founded in 2014 by Joshua Purvis and his father, Mark. It helps people record the memories, traditions, lessons, humor, relationships, and experiences they want future generations to know. Through thoughtful, professionally guided video conversations, participants can share stories in their own words and feel comfortable recording in a suitable location. Conversations may explore family photographs, recipes, heirlooms, meaningful places, and the moments that shaped a life. The finished stories are carefully organized and privately delivered for families to revisit over time.

DearGrandkids offers several formats, including Dear Son, Dear Daughter, Dear Mom, Dear Dad, Dear Us for couples, Dear Family for multiple voices, and a Custom option for stories that need a different approach. Its complete DearGrandkids experience is priced at $4,950, with further details available by request. The company also invites community nominations and sets aside production time to provide selected Tampa Bay residents with a story project at no cost.
