Why We Ripple

Welcome to the Live The Ripple™ movement! We're a community of everyday folks who believe that even the simplest act of kindness can spark something amazing. Think of it: your smile, a helping hand, a thoughtful word each can create a ripple of hope and connection that spreads further than we can ever imagine.

At Live The Ripple™, our movement is guided by core values that fuel our mission: Compassion, Connection, Courage, and Action. We believe that compassion inspires us to see and respond to the needs of others, that connection strengthens the bonds that allow kindness to flourish, that courage empowers us to step out and be the source of positive change, and that intentional action is how we create the ripples of good we envision in the world.

We're building a global community where kindness is a daily practice, stories of positive impact are shared and celebrated, and everyone feels empowered to be a force for good. Join us as we learn, grow, and collectively make waves of kindness that touch lives across the globe. Ready to start your ripple?

The Heart Behind the Ripple

While Live The Ripple™ is a movement for everyone, inspired by the simple yet profound power of kindness, its origins lie in a deeply personal place. At the heart of this endeavor is the memory of Kayla, a bright and radiant soul whose light touched the lives of so many during her eighteen years.

Kayla embodied the very essence of kindness; her compassion was boundless, her ability to connect with others genuine, her spirit courageous even in the face of challenges, and her actions, both big and small, left a lasting positive impact on the world around her.

Though her physical presence is no longer with us, her spirit and how she lived continue to inspire us daily. Live the Ripple was born from a desire to honor that radiant light, carry forward the kindness that defined her, and create a world where her spirit of compassion and connection continues to make waves.

To honor Kayla's legacy and further the spirit of kindness she embodied, we also established the Live Like Kayla Foundation. A portion of the "Live the Ripple™" movement proceeds, including merchandise and donations, directly supports the Foundation's initiatives. These include providing scholarships to empower young people, supporting enriching camp experiences, and assisting individuals, families, and communities in need, all reflecting Kayla's compassionate and generous heart. Through the Foundation, we aim to extend the ripples of her kindness into tangible support for others, ensuring her light continues to shine brightly in the world through meaningful action.

We believe that by embracing the simple acts of kindness that came so naturally to Kayla, we can create a ripple effect that mirrors her positive impact on those around her. This movement is a testament to her enduring spirit and a way for us all to keep her light shining brightly in the world through meaningful action, both through individual acts of kindness and through the collective impact of the Live Like Kayla Foundation.
