To inspire our communities to invest in health and scientific advances to improve the health of children and their families in Canada and around the world!

It’s simple really. People loving people. It sounds so easy, yet with the distractions of everyday life, it often gets pushed aside. It’s little things… like a smile, a touch, a hug, an ear to listen or a gift that fills a need. All summed up, this is what God calls us to do – love Him and love others to glorify Him. In response, Love Your Neighbor was formed. Jesus transformed my heart and inspired me to reach out to the community using interior design. A mission based not only on God’s design for us to love each other, but also on the gift of design God gives artists. It is about connection, care and compassion instilled into wellness programs to serve the local community. Our main program is the House to Home Initiative which designs and fully furnishes homes for families transitioning out of difficult situations as an expression of our faith and to allow for a calm, inviting and comfortable environment free of stress and uncertainty.
