Hello and welcome!

My name is Trevor Godwin, and I'm honored to be the founder of Project You Are Loved.

As my mother battled the end stages of cancer, I found myself at a loss. She fought hard! However, her physical and emotional pain was overwhelming. I desperately wanted to comfort her but struggled to find a meaningful way—until an idea sparked.

I emailed my contacts, requesting that they send my mother a card with the simple message, "You are loved." I also asked them to pass this email along to anyone they knew. And you know what? They did forward that email, and the response was overwhelming. People from all walks of life, from her friends and family to complete strangers, sent cards to lift her spirits. The gesture was small, but my mother felt special and loved with every card she opened.

Though my mother eventually passed away, the experience left a lasting impact on me. I realized the power of gathering people from all over to support someone in need. I founded “Project You Are Loved” in honor of my mother, Christine Lynn Gross.

Our goal is simple: to remind those struggling that they are seen, thought of, and loved. Whether it's a mother, a father, a friend, or even a stranger, we believe everyone deserves to feel the warmth and comfort of a community rallying behind them.

Please don't hesitate to contact me through our Instagram page or email info@projectyouareloved.com if you have any questions. I appreciate your support!

After Christine Lynn Gross started chemotherapy she lost all her hair. Her children decided to throw her a hat party to make light of the situation. The photo shows Chris/Christine with no hair, smiling and holding a hat she was gifted.

“Chris was getting cards from all over! Receiving them boosted her spirits, even when she felt absolutely terrible. Just the thought that people, some she didn't even know, cared about her made a difference.”
