Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephen Greengo.
Hi Stephen, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
My story begins with my daughter, Harper. On her first birthday, she received a bouquet of pink roses from her grandfather. It struck me as an unusual gift for a one-year-old, so I asked him why. His reply still moves me to this day: “Every girl deserves to receive beautiful flowers.”
Those words became a lifelong truth for me. Flowers fade, but their beauty and meaning live on—and that idea became the seed for Tiara4Harper.com. Instead of flowers, I chose tiaras: they sparkle with the same grace and joy, but unlike blooms, they never wilt.
Harper was born with an incurable genetic disorder called Sandhoff’s disease and spent just 720 days on this earth—eight days shy of her second birthday. Yet, in her short time, she filled our lives with a light that changed us forever. My wife and I promised that her light would never fade, and this business became the way to share that light with the world.
For every tiara sold, we donate one to a children’s hospital, starting with Children’s Mercy in Kansas City—the heroes who cared for Harper throughout her life. Each tiara is a symbol of joy and hope, gifted in her honor to little princesses who need a moment of magic amid their struggles.
I fund this dream by working nights as a security guard at Arrowhead Stadium. It’s hard work, but every shift reminds me what I’m working toward: building something beautiful out of loss, and giving back to families who walk the same road we once did.
Tiara4Harper.com isn’t just a store—it’s a love story, a tribute, and a movement to share Harper’s light through generosity and grace. My hope is that every woman who visits our site remembers this truth: you are chosen, you are radiant, and your light has the power to change the world.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, it hasn’t been a smooth road—but I don’t think it was ever meant to be. Anything worth building from the heart comes with challenges.
Starting Tiara4Harper.com has been a journey of faith and perseverance. I’ve had to learn everything from search engine optimization to social media marketing—often late at night after finishing my shift as a security guard at Arrowhead Stadium. There were times I felt invisible, wondering how to get people to understand what this mission truly means. It’s not just about selling tiaras; it’s about sharing light, joy, and remembrance.
Working with a very small budget has also tested my creativity. Every dollar matters, so I’ve learned to stretch resources, design the website myself, and trust that small steps can still lead to something beautiful. There are still many nights when I question if I’m doing enough—but then I receive a message from a customer, or a note from a nurse at a children’s hospital, and I’m reminded why I started.
This journey has taught me that smooth roads don’t build strength—rough ones do. And every challenge has become another way to honor Harper’s light by refusing to give up on what she inspired.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about tiara4harper.com ?
Tiara4Harper.com isn’t just an online boutique—it’s a love story woven into silver and crystal. We specialize in elegant, heirloom-quality tiaras designed to make every woman and every little girl feel seen, cherished, and radiant. Our mission is simple but profound: to bring joy and sparkle to others while honoring the memory of my daughter, Harper.
What sets us apart isn’t just our craftsmanship, but our cause. For every tiara purchased, we donate another to a children’s hospital in Harper’s memory. Each tiara represents hope, strength, and the beauty that can emerge even from heartbreak. The very first donations went to Children’s Mercy in Kansas City—the same hospital that cared for Harper throughout her short but extraordinary life.
We’re known for our attention to detail—each piece is carefully chosen to capture the timeless grace of royalty while remaining accessible to anyone who dreams of wearing one. Whether it’s a bride, a little girl battling illness, or a mother wanting to feel beautiful again, our goal is to remind them that they are, and always have been, worthy of a crown.
What makes me proudest is that our customers don’t just buy tiaras—they become part of Harper’s legacy. They’re helping us create a ripple of kindness that spans the world, one sparkling crown at a time.
At its heart, Tiara4Harper.com is about more than jewelry. It’s about joy. It’s about resilience. It’s about choosing light, even when life feels dark. And if there’s one thing I hope readers remember, it’s this: you don’t need a special occasion to wear a tiara. You are the occasion.
How can people work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
The simplest and most meaningful way to support Tiara4Harper.com is to share our story. Tell someone about the little girl who inspired a movement of light, love, and sparkle. Every post, every mention, every conversation helps keep Harper’s legacy shining bright.
Tiaras aren’t something you buy every day—but when you’re ready to sparkle, or when someone in your life needs a lift, I hope you’ll think of us. A tiara can transform more than an outfit; it can transform a moment. Whether it’s for a wedding, a birthday, or simply a reminder of inner strength, each tiara carries a story of hope and healing.
For those who want to collaborate, we’re always looking for photographers, bloggers, hospitals, and nonprofits who share our passion for spreading joy. Together, we can reach more children, more mothers, and more hearts that need reminding that they are loved and chosen.
Every purchase, every partnership, every shared post helps place another tiara on the head of a brave little princess in a children’s hospital somewhere in the world. So if you believe in kindness, in beauty that gives back, and in turning grief into grace—join us.
Because when you wear a tiara from Tiara4Harper.com, you don’t just shine for yourself—you help someone else find their light, too.
