Our Giveback
Every time you buy, you are making an impact. A portion of every box sold will go towards a “Shelley Shoot.” A sponsored photo session for a family with a Mom recently diagnosed with cancer. An important cause for our founder, Ana Christina. In 2004, Ana (18) lost her Mom to Ovarian Cancer and since then, has had several family members, diagnosed with various forms of cancer, including Grade 4 Glioblastoma (Brain Cancer) in her first cousin, Shelley. When Ana received the news about Shelley in 2023, her first thought was to travel back home to be there in support of Shelley, her husband, Romeo, and their 3 boys Mathis (10) Crosby (8) and Bowen (5). With permission, she set up a family photoshoot to capture Shelley (Mom) in a less vulnerable state. As we know, cancer, more often than not, can take a toll on the mental and physical state of the person diagnosed, as Ana witnessed with her Mom. Thinking back on her own personal experience, Ana wanted their family to have this cherished memory of Shelley, as Shelley, not "Shelley (Mom) with cancer." Before then, the birth of Live and Give had already taken place, but upon flying back home and receiving the messages about how meaningful this shoot was for their family, Ana knew it had to be a part of the mission. Ana's heart has always been for finding ways to serve and love others where they're at. It is her desire to encourage others to keep reaching, to keep fighting, but to also consider the needs of those around you. Know that when you make your purchase the depth of your impact is endless. You have the ability to birth new life and encouragement in someone today, who then because of you, now has the opportunity to do the same for someone else, igniting and continuing the cycle of positivity and hope.
