What we do
When tragedy first hit, people often asked us what they could do to help. What did we need? Our son. That was all we needed. The more we thought about that question, we realized that what we really needed was to honor his life, and keep him alive through his beautiful memory. We wanted to create an organization of some sort to help other parents who know the depth of this pain to honor their children in a way of their choosing. For us, that meant creating “Love, Lorenzo” to help other parents. For some parents, that may mean dedicating a bench to their favorite park in their child’s name.
For others, it may mean a scholarship in their child’s name. And for some, it may mean assistance in affording a proper burial. The way in which a parent chooses to honor his or her child is personal, pure, and sacred. We want to help parents to memorialize their children who have earned their wings too soon. We intend not only to provide the financial backing, but also to help with the leg work behind the memorial. A grieving parent cannot be expected to make the necessary arrangements and navigate through the public works system of its local municipality.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of ways you may choose to memorialize your child.
We welcome your ideas, and if we can make it work, we will.
