Founder's Story
Introduction
"I wanted to be with you at that moment when pain turns into hope."
As I went through many difficult times in life, I realized how precious it is to have a warm presence with you.
Hello, I am Sam Kim, the founder of Todak.
When you feel like no one is there for you, a little attention can sustain your life.
My Journey
“There were moments I felt completely lost – emotionally, relationally, and financially.”
After immigrating to the U.S. in my later years, I faced cultural and language barriers, divorce, emotional hardship, and financial instability. Yet, I also experienced deep healing through faith, education, and the love for my daughter.
Why Todak?
I wanted to create a place where people are not judged, but embraced.
“Todak” means a gentle, reassuring pat in Korean.Todak is a wellness community that provides emotional recovery and practical solutions to those who are lonely and hurting.
Who It's For
Those struggling silently with life challenges
Youth needing emotional care
Immigrants, families, and elders left behind
Anyone who has felt unseen or unheard
Closing Message
Todak is not mine. It belongs to all of us who believe in kindness, healing, and shared dignity.
Your warm companionship gives someone the strength to live again.
Thank you for being here. Welcome to Todak again.
