Testimonials

"Picked up my pins while out with my crew earlier this evening... they look great, good size, good quality... kids were pretty much blown away when I explained to them how you explained that you drew this with your mouth, heh... truly enjoy following the advocacy work that you do (I also tell nursing students about your work through one of the chronic health seminars I currently supervise, with the help of the several news articles available about ya hehe)... can't wait for someone to ask me about my cardinal pin ...success to your future endeavours and regards"

"We are so thrilled to be selling ‘Never Give Up’ Cardinal Pins from Iver fashion. These beautiful pins were designed and mouth drawn by Travis Iverson, an inspiring local Ottawa entrepreneur, fashion designer, accessibility advocate, and voice for change for members of the wheelchair user's community.

When we heard Travis’s story and mission we couldn’t wait to have his pins in our store and support his cause. 100% of all proceeds from the sale of Travis’s cardinal pins go back to Travis at Iver fashion in which they create and donate unique, accessible clothing for the wheelchair users community."

"We love working with you and really appreciate the positive impact you have with the sales of these pins." 

"The Never Give Up, mouth drawn lapel pins, represent Hope and an amazing story of Travis Iverson, turning adversity into opportunity and a wonderful example of helping others during their time of need. The Ottawa Catholic School Board is pleased to support this work"

"During my photoshoot with Faces, I got to meet debatably two of the coolest guys ever, Sean Sisk and Corey J. Stone and learn about the heart warming story of a local heroic man, that experienced a life - altering incident.

He now has used his story as fuel to create an adaptive fashion line for individuals with spinal cord injuries, and more.

The man’s story is one of a kind, and truly brought tears to my eyes the more I read on.

A message I took from his website that I wanted to share today is this;

“Especially during theses tough times, it's imperative we keep the Never Give Up mindset lights on. We will WIN if we don't give up,”

Whatever your tough time is today, keep that mentality."

"Cardinals appear when Angel's are near is an often used phrase when someone passes from this life to the next. When I see cardinals I love to try to determine who, of those who have gone ahead, is visiting. So 3 or 4 days ago I saw these stunning enamel pins with the logo Never Give Up I thought they would be a perfect gift for my siblings. These pins are mouth drawn by local community builder Travis Iverson . Travis also designs "fits from "the chair" clothing and accessories for the wheel chair users' community. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these cardinal pins will help to offset the cost of custom clothing for the wheel chair users' community (the fits from the chair line.) "

"I am so glad we connected and wow what a story. I am big on signs and you have cardinals which a big one for me. When I see a cardinal it’s a gift from god. I saw 2 today on my drive and now your site. And I find dimes several times a week and know something good is happening''
