Giving & Community

The Giv Shoppe is one part of a broad community of care we’re building. Together, we support survivors, previvors and caregivers.

GIVING BACK

Why We Do It

In 2019, Lauren Lopriore started Liv & Let- Thriving Through Breast Cancer to offer the resources she needed during her own fight with cancer and then as a support for friends who had been diagnosed with cancer. Her blog became an information hub of events, information and product recommendations for those who have recently been diagnosed, those going through treatment, those who are learning about their family history and interested in prevention as well as for caregivers. In sharing her story as a young adult cancer survivor, Lauren is creating space and empowering others impacted by breast cancer including previvors, survivors and caregivers.

As a part of that ongoing mission and effort, a percentage of proceeds from the Giv Shoppe will be donated to charities empowering the breast cancer, cancer and mental health communities through research, education and care.

SUPPLIER SPOTLIGHT

Judy Hughes | Peace Labs

Judy is a mama, entrepreneur, and agency director who launched her creative agency at just 22. The Peace Labs is deeply rooted in her Chinese heritage and personal healing journey. After overcoming cervical cancer and lingering ailments that Western medicine couldn’t fully resolve, Judy found solace in Eastern holistic practices like yoga and acupuncture. Inspired to share these healing traditions, she created The Peace Labs as modern wellness brand offering natural pain relief and respite from the overwhelm of modern life.

The mission of Peace Labs is to transform healing into a beautiful, accessible journey by bringing the natural wisdom of Eastern traditions to the forefront of Western wellness. In a market ready for alternatives to chemical cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, we aim to introduce holistic solutions through thoughtfully designed products that honor nature’s ingredients. By creating a vibrant wellness community and offering an
elevated product experience, we strive to empower individuals on their path to healing.
