Story time...


There is something about storytelling that brings to life a connection among people. Storytelling allows us to be apart of something real or imaginary. Stories have shaped history, entertained since the beginning of time, and have been used to teach generation after generation. But to two Florida boys stories meant more then just fascinating tales, stories had a purpose.
Friends Mike Fretto and Chris Lewis set out to start a fashion company that would donate all proceeds to charity. Upon research Mike and Chris noticed that many charities were well established and they felt they had a higher calling to actually impact lives. A good friend of the boys who makes films brought to their attention that there is much that is needed to be done on a local level and many people where hurting and had stories to be heard.
The creation of Rosa Loves is truly remarkable. Rosa Loves tells stories of individuals and communities in need and each T-shirt is designed especially for them and is only sold until the need is met, and that's it. "As soon as the monetary goal is met, the shirts are discontinued" the website reads.
This is a perfect example of taking an interest such as fashion and turning into a great cause. Visit RosaLoves.com and order a T-Shirt! To find out more about this great company and to read about all the stories behind the shirts read through their FAQ page.

As Always, Stay Tuned.
