It’s Official!
🌈 We’re Live! 🌈
I’ve had this on my heart for a long time.
Today, I get to finally say it out loud: The Arcs of Love Foundation is officially live.
It’s hard to describe what this moment means to me. This isn’t just a passion project. It is deeply personal. It was born from grief, shaped by love, and built in honor of the two people who taught me the most about hope, love and joy—my two sweet boys.
The rainbows in our name? They’re for them, our “rainbow babies”. They represent all I’ve been through and learned from: heartbreak, healing, and the quiet knowing that something beautiful can still come after the storm.
Why Arcs of Love?
Because that’s exactly what I needed. When everything in my life felt too heavy to carry, what helped wasn’t grand gestures or perfect words. It was the smallest things. A kind note. A hot meal. A sense that someone, somewhere, saw me. You know who you are, and I am eternally grateful to those who showed up then, and continue to show up now.
This foundation is about being that someone for someone else. We build arcs—acts of love that help carry people forward when they can’t do it alone. I am deeply grateful for the privilege to quietly help others around me; but know that even greater good can come from a concerted effort… that’s why I’m here now.
What We Do
We show up for people at their most overwhelmed, heaviest, “I don’t know my path forward” moments—when they’re grieving, stretched thin, isolated, or just barely hanging on.
We do that through four core programs:
Arcs of Comfort – Kindness Kits, hospice support, and emotional care for families in grief or elders who feel forgotten.
Arcs of Care – Meals, postpartum kits, and simple support for parents and caregivers carrying more than they can say
Arcs of Opportunity – Scholarships, mentorship, and moments of belief for girls and young women with big dreams and limited access
Arcs of Action – Volunteer-led campaigns that turn compassion into motion: letters, drives, drop-offs, and community care
At one point or another, I have needed each of these services myself. Sometimes these needs were met, sometimes they weren’t. But what I know for sure is that this work is real. It is meaningful. It is needed now more than ever.
Why Now?
My husband and I know what it was like being stressed out new parents needing a hand (and a lasagna); to watch as someone you love passes and you don’t know how you’ll manage; to be a young and fiercely determined woman who isn’t sure how to make an impact (especially when it seems financially out of reach); and have seen first hand the impact that action can have. I didn’t have an organization like this to turn to, so I am creating it myself… the time is now, I’m done waiting.
How You Can Help
If you’ve ever wanted to do something meaningful—but didn’t know where to start—this is it.
Make a donation. Every dollar makes a real, direct impact.
Join a project. Write notes, build a kit, deliver a meal.
Nominate someone who could use a little extra love.
Share this. Post it. Forward it. Help us grow.
This is for my boys, and for all of us.
The Arcs of Love Foundation is for my sons. They are our miracles and the reason behind everything we do.
It’s for every person who’s been through something hard and didn’t know how to ask for help.
It’s for anyone who wants to be the person who shows up.
This is how we build a world where people feel less alone. This is how we create community. This is just the beginning.
This work reflects our family’s values. My husband and I created the life that inspired this foundation, and I’m endlessly grateful to him for supporting every step.
With love and gratitude,
Lauren
Founder, The Arcs of Love Foundation
