Light • Love • Healing

A community where every wounded heart is seen, heard, and gently restored.

LOVE EVIE fosters compassionate support and emotional healing for women and children navigating loss or crisis—so no one has to walk alone.

Vision

We envision a kinder community where empathy and practical care help women and children rise after hardship. We believe love—shared consistently and humbly—can mend even the deepest wounds.

Why We Exist

Sometimes the world moves too fast to notice quiet pain. LOVE EVIE exists to slow down, listen deeply, and offer steady companionship—reminding each person that their story matters.

An Inspiring Story

LOVE EVIE began with a little girl named Evie, whose simple wish was that “everyone could feel loved.” After Evie passed away unexpectedly, her spirit of gentle kindness sparked a movement. What started as a small circle of mothers processing grief has grown into a welcoming home for hundreds—where forgiveness is practiced, courage is nurtured, and self‑love is rediscovered.

Compassion in Action

Social Impact

By connecting those who have walked through loss with those just beginning the journey, we create a sustaining circle of care. Our model turns recipients into future companions, building resilience that extends across families and neighborhoods.

Community Belonging
No one heals in isolation—belonging accelerates recovery.
Emotional Literacy
Children learn to name, process, and share feelings safely.
Continuum of Care
From first contact to peer companionship, support remains steady.

Recent Event — “Light Up the Hearts” (October 2025, Athens, Alabama)

Hundreds gathered to light candles in remembrance and hope. Stories were shared, songs lifted, and commitments made to carry Evie’s light into everyday acts of kindness. The evening offered both quiet reflection and joyful connection—reminding us that healing grows when love is practiced together.
