Michelle Lynch, President & Founder

Just to See You Smile

Michelle Lynch, founded Just to See You Smile in 2019 with the goal to bring hope to children through stories. 

 

Much of Michelle’s personal inspiration and passion behind starting Just to See You Smile is through her own childhood hardships. From the moment she was born, she faced traumatic and life-threatening medical hardships. Within 24 hours of being on earth, she was in her first surgery.

 

The doctors told her she would not live to age two and would be unable to lead a normal life.

 

31 surgeries later she stands triumphant over her hardships coupled with a unique storytelling gift, she has wanted to bring stories to children dealing with medical hardships that can be read by children in all walks of life. 

​

“I want to be an advocate for children and others, know you are not alone.”

Michelle Lynch
