About Lovishly's Respire Haiti Necklace

*taken from https://lovishly.com/pages/about-us 

Lovishly Co. started in 2014 for the simple reason of giving back to the community that we live in. Lovishly believes each of us have the power to tell stories that change lives through fashion. When you wear our necklaces, our hope is that you will feel empowered to share the story it holds. 

How do we change the world? Lovishly believes in giving extravagantly. Throughout the year, we partner with many non-profits that are making a difference in their communities. We create a custom necklace for each organization and help spread the word of the work they are doing. During their campaign, $5 from every necklace sold goes towards their work. We believe that when you wear our necklaces you will want to share about the change that is going on in the world through that specific organization. 
    
Lovishly believes that together we can make a difference in the world. Fashion has become a way for us to express ourselves and the things we care about, so what better way to do that then purchasing one of our necklaces. 
     
Help us change our world!

All glory to God! Richcarde, a student at Respire Haiti Christian School, who had open heart surgery in June of 2014 was needing to receive another surgery, due to an infection in his valve. In May 2016 we found out through Haiti Cardiac Alliance (HCA) that Richcarde had an opportunity to get another surgery at Health City Cayman Island in Grand Cayman Island.

Through much prayer, he and his family decided it would be best for him to go through with the surgery.  At the end of June, Richcarde traveled with HCA and Belo to Grand Cayman Island to receive another open-heart surgery.  Belo stayed with Richcarde throughout the whole process and was a great encouragement and support to Richcarde during that time.

We are thankful to say that Richcarde received great care, and the surgery was successful at Health City Cayman Island Hospital. Richcarde is back in Haiti and doing well with recovery! Please continue to keep Richcarde and his family in your prayers as he will go through many changes that need to be made due to his new valve.  We are so thankful for everyone who has prayed, and is continuing to pray for Richcarde.  We know God has great plans for his life because he is a walking miracle, and we praise God he is doing well!
