About Us
We Treasure Every Dream
The Treasure Bound Foundation was inspired by Felix Juarez — a husband, father, and lifelong dreamer who longed to go treasure hunting in his homeland of Mexico. Felix’s spirit never wavered, and his bucket list never shortened, as he fought a four-year battle with multiple myeloma. Just one month before his passing, he still spoke feverishly of his dream to hunt for treasure — a reminder that even at the end, hope and adventure still lit his heart.
His unfulfilled dreams, and the bucket list he left behind, became the inspiration for The Treasure Bound Foundation.
We believe that even in the face of terminal cancer, dreams are still worth chasing. Through the sale of used books, we help treasure those dreams — offering hope, joy, and new memories when they matter most. Every book we sell is a small part of a greater promise: to honor the stories, the dreams, and the adventures that continue, no matter the time we’re given. At The Treasure Bound Foundation, we treasure every dream.

Unearth a Treasure Trove of Books — and Help Dreams Take Flight


The Journey Has Just Begun
The Treasure Bound Foundation is at the very beginning of its journey, and we are filled with hope, purpose, and big dreams for what lies ahead. We’ve built our first vendor cart, a mobile bookshop, where we’ll be selling used books at local events to help fund dreams for those facing terminal cancer. The cart will also serve as a place for collecting donations, sharing our mission, and connecting directly with the community we serve.
But this is only the beginning. We are already in the process of building additional mobile bookshops, each one designed to bring books, hope, and opportunity to more people across more places — all in support of our cause. In the months ahead, we also plan to host book events celebrating local authors, giving storytellers a platform while raising funds to fulfill dreams for those whose time feels limited.
As we grow, we are inviting the community to help shape the future of The Treasure Bound Foundation. We will be hosting focus groups and open discussions to gather ideas, input, and guidance, making sure the foundation grows in a way that stays true to the heart of our mission.
We believe in the incredible potential of what’s ahead — and we would love for you to be part of it. If you have ideas, feedback, or would like to get involved, please reach out. Stay tuned for updates, upcoming events, and new opportunities to connect — The Treasure Bound Foundation is just getting started, and together, we’ll make sure the best chapters are yet to come.
