Handmade in New Smyrna Beach, Florida

A real Rainbow Bridge for the one you lost

Hand-built and hand-painted, with paw prints down the center. Place one in your garden where they rest, or somewhere you will see it every morning. No two are alike, and there will never be more.

The story behind them

Paul Allabaugh could build a beautiful bridge by hand. What he could not do was sell it. He died by suicide before the world ever knew his name, and his bridges became a way to reach people who are closer to that edge than they let on. If that is you, you are not alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone. Call or text 988

For the makers

When the last bridge sells, the mission doesn't end.

Paul made every bridge by hand. When the last of his finds a home, the inventory is gone. But the grieving pet owners don't stop arriving. The families don't stop needing something to hold.

We're looking for the next maker. A woodworker. A painter. A welder. A potter. A photographer. An illustrator. A sculptor. An artist of any medium who can build something a family keeps on their mantle for twenty years. You don't have to be Paul. Nobody can be. You can be the next chapter, under your own name, your own style, your own hands.

Photographers, illustrators, metalworkers, glass artists, weavers. The medium doesn't matter. The grief doesn't pick a form. Whatever you make, if it can carry someone's love for the animal they lost, this door is yours.
