ABOUT
Ask us where love is and we'll show you a map and a mirror,
and say "Love is Here!"
How it Works!
We have ever-growing networks of:
DONORS and CHARITIES
(that we've thoroughly vetted and personally gotten to know)
When someone from one side,
matches with someone on the other,
we make an introduction!
★ = X = ❤
NOTE: We call all those we work with "Partners"!
As it's purely through collaboration and our working together, that we're changing the world.
DONORS
Want to make a direct
and meaningful impact?!

We'll help you get connected
with the perfect charity!
This is ASHLEY!
She had a service project due for Girl Scouts, and no idea what to do. As we chatted and got to know her,
we learned that she was interested in helping young girls and that she loved to sew.
Sooo we matched her with our friends at e3Partners in TX, who we know travel often to orphanages in Africa
where dolls are a truly adored item that they give to the girls.

This is NEEMA!
She's one of the girls in a Tanzanian orphanage, that received Ashley's homemade dolls, via the charity e3Partners. (YES, that's the exact same doll
as Ashley is holding in her picture!)
Over 100 girls, received a new cuddly friend
of their very own!!!

Registered 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization: #461872270
The LOVE-ly Store
We stand with the Black community.
Black Lives Matter.
We passionately stand in solidarity against injustice, inequality and racism.
We have been at such a loss for words, and at a loss for what we can do to make true change happen. We are founded on the principle that Love Can Change The World, and more than ever we feel that our country and everyone in it needs LOVE... not more hate.
Please choose to show love to every! one! of your fellow human beings. Change must happen, and it starts inside each one of us.
Think with love. LISTEN with love. Learn with love. Speak with love. Act with love. Be part of the solution, not more of the problem.
We don’t know the best way to make the big nationwide changes that need to happen, but we will stand in solidarity until they do. And through it all, we will choose to continue to educate ourselves, and to again and again and again choose to do everything in love.
If there is any way we can support you, please let us know.
Sending you so much love. ❤️
