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.

Jenn Greenhut | Love, Zero Negative
Meet Jenn, founder of Love, Zero Negative and The Zero Negative Foundation. Jenn is a stage IV triple-negative cancer survivor and thriver and believes love and gratitude are just as important as a fantastic team of doctors and treatment. Her experience of being cancer-free four months after her diagnosis inspired her to start Love, Zero Negative, an intentional lifestyle brand dedicated to igniting self-love through high-end consumer products.
The Love Collection was born from the desire to spread love and the belief that every negative experience can become a positive, healing experience. Our Be Love, Give Love program ensures that a portion of each product supports those facing life's challenges, with our first giving program
focused on cancer patients.
With every product sold, we provide love, support, and specially curated tote bags to cancer patients through The Zero Negative Foundation
