Biography
Trista Hamsmith is the founder of Reese’s Purpose, a non-profit organization whose mission is to identify, advocate and correct safety issues impacting children and their families. Trista founded Reese’s Purpose following the death of her 18-month-old daughter Reese after she accidentally swallowed a button-battery that fell out of a faulty remote control.
Trista turned her tragedy into advocacy and less than two-years after Reese’s death, Reese’s Law was passed to direct the Consumer Product Safety Commission to develop and implement new safety standards to protect children from accidental ingestion of button cell batteries. Trista continues to advocate for issues that threaten children’s safety through Reese's Purpose. She lives in Lubbock, TX with her husband Chris, daughter Blake and son Brody.
