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

Amanda & Steph |Thrive Gang
Two besties had a simple idea to make inspirational and empowering gifts for thrivers or anyone going through adversity such as cancer. Their goal is to take the guesswork out of what to get someone when they are newly diagnosed and to create special pieces that the recipient will both want and love to wear.
