Love Your Neighbor NOLA founder, Nadia Sanchez (right), lost her mother to a carjacking in New Orleans. Through her own tragedy, she and her family were inspired to teach people how to love themselves so that they may in turn love others. By providing mental health resources, tangible goods, and a space of belonging, Love Your Neighbor NOLA positively impacts families, as well as the broader community.

 

What was a tragedy is now a mission: to disrupt cycles of violence by being catalysts for family centered change. We do this by showing love, teaching self-love, and advocating for a kinder and gentler society.

​

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Matthew 22:37-39
