Live in Love: Kid Style

Live in Love has no age restriction. Anyone – young, old, or comfortably in between – can choose to Live in Love everyday. Here are 2 kids who choose to Live in Love, all on their own, no prompting from the grown-ups in their lives. They are remarkable and have an early start on how they want to live.


Logan, age 7Logan, like most kids, loves to eat at McDonald’s. While most kids are playing with their Happy Meal toys, Logan does something a bit different. At the age of 6 he thought about children who may not be able to eat at McDonald’s. Logan had the simple idea to donate all his McDonald Happy Meal toys to children’s hospitals around the country. His heart reaches out to other children who need something special to brighten their days; children who are sick, lonely, hurting, or afraid. Logan gives what he has and does so with a smile, no pretenses, no strings attached, nothing expected in return.





Aspen, age 8Aspen has always had beautiful long hair and never wanted to have it cut. That is until, at the age of 5, she heard about Locks of Love, a program that receives donations of hair (must be at least 10 inches long) to make natural looking wigs for children who have lost their own hair to illness and medical treatments. Aspen asked her mom to measure her hair and take her to get it cut. A few days later her hair was on the way, to help other girls. And get this: Aspen did it again last year, her second donation of hair to Locks of Love.

Logan and Aspen are the young ambassadors of Live in Love and we are so thankful for their thoughtfulness, generosity, kindness, putting others first, and, of course, their love. They simply give what they have to those who do not. We can’t wait to see how they grow, give, and love as they continue to Live in Love for many years to come. Thanks, Logan and Aspen!

Return to Pretoria

The day has arrived for Lomasontfo to return to Pretoria to have the wires holding her jaw removed. On Wednesday the Live in Love Rav will hit the road. On Thursday Lomason will have the wires removed. On Friday she will return to her home in Maphiveni. She has been away for 2 months and quite excited to see her friends, go back to her school, and attend church on Sundays. What a joyful day Friday will be for her!

Lomason continues to heal well. The swelling has decreased dramatically. Look for new photos of Lomason later this week!
