A little origin story 💜
A nurse. A small gift bag. And the thought, "we could do this." Here's the moment Love Like Lottie was truly born.
Serving Sangamon County
Love is strongest in life's hardest moments.
We provide care packages and practical support to families experiencing hospital stays with a child or adult family member.
When one person is hospitalized, the whole family is affected.
Our why
A little comfort goes a long way.
After multiple hospital stays with our daughter Lottie, we understand the fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty that families carry.
Through thoughtful care packages, we hope to make difficult days a little easier and inspire a ripple effect of compassion—one small act of love at a time.
Your love in action
Care that feels personal.
Our packages pair practical essentials with small comforts for the unexpected days and nights families spend away from home.

Our first deliveries: love in action
We brought our very first baskets to families at our local hospital—and left with even more love than we carried in.
