When Rachel Hyche lost her sight as a baby, her father David eventually faced a small mystery with a deeply personal solution. How could she hunt Easter eggs alongside other children if she could not see them?
In 2005, the Alabama ATF agent went to his basement and built an egg containing a battery, switch, and buzzer. Rachel could follow the sound and find it herself.
That homemade invention later inspired the Rachel Project, helping bring sound-making Easter eggs to other visually impaired children.
Years later, David continued building them each spring. Sometimes a father needs no complicated blueprint, just one clue: every child deserves a chance to join the hunt. š„ā¤ļø
