Karina and San ❤️

Our StoryIn 2012, a very special person to Amy and Michelle was killed in a tragic car accident. Her name was Karina. A year after her death, Michelle and Amy felt guided to create something positive and loving in Karina’s memory.
At Karina’s one-year memorial on March 4th, 2013, they had an inspiration to make 100 burritos for the homeless with their friends and family. After the memorial, Amy and Michelle delivered all those burritos to men, women, and children in areas of need. With a permanent marker, they hand wrote “Angel K Love Project” on the aluminum foil of each burrito and the Angel K Love Project was born. Since that day, Michelle coordinated a variety of volunteer and donation projects every month on Facebook. She sent an FB invites out to anyone who wanted to join the project. Initially, just close friends and family joined them, but after four years of volunteer work people from around the city came out to help serve the community in and around Denver, CO. Within 2 years, the Angel K Love Project Facebook page reached more than 1,000 likes from around the world thanks to Michelle and Amy's travels. After four years, they helped over 50 different non-profit organizations in a variety of ways and they clocked in 3,000 hours of volunteer work! Taking The AKLP To The Next LevelIn 2017, they decided to shift their focus to the most precious thing there is in this life -The Future Generations. They announced that they were going to follow the calling in their hearts to take Angel K Love Project to the next level.
They believe the best way to positively change the future of our world is by positively impacting those who will carry it. Their hearts break each time they think about how many millions of children are without love and ultimately forgotten in the world today. Children are tasked with quite an immense responsibility on this planet, but many of them may never know how important they are. To safeguard a future for the next generation, they believe orphaned, abandoned, and foster children ARE a huge missing piece of our planets future. Forgotten children must be remembered if we want to improve the future generations! |
