Making a difference in children’s lives, one painted nail at a time

Thea and Elliot’s touching story
A chance encounter between Elliot Costello and an amazing girl named Thea in the heart of Cambodia sparked a powerful movement to combat child sexual abuse.
Thea, who paints her nails every day, asked Elliot to paint one of her nails while they were talking. Little did he know that this simple request had a deeper meaning. He later learned that Thea had been sexually assaulted. Elliot made a promise to Thea while painting his nails. It was a promise to remember her, to bear witness to her suffering and to act against the abuse suffered by countless children around the world.
