The Founder's story
The M. Ariel Love Foundation was created from a mother’s promise.
​
After the tragic loss of my daughter, Maylaysia Ariel Levy, I made a commitment that her life, her name, and her legacy would continue to bring light and purpose into the world.
What began as grief became a calling to educate communities, empower young people, and help prevent the cycles of domestic violence that impact far too many lives.
​
The M. Ariel Love Foundation was born from both heartbreak and purpose.
​
I am a mother, advocate, and survivor who understands firsthand how deeply domestic violence impacts individuals, families, and communities. After the tragic loss of my daughter, Maylaysia Ariel Levy, I made a promise that her life and legacy would continue to create meaning and change. Her name, her light, and her story would not be forgotten.
​
What began as unimaginable grief became a calling.
​
I realized that too many people, especially young people, enter relationships without understanding the warning signs of abuse, the importance of boundaries, or what healthy love truly looks like.
​Too often, silence, stigma, and lack of education allow cycles of violence to continue.
The M. Ariel Love Foundation was created to break those cycles.
Through community workshops, youth engagement, awareness events, and partnerships with other organizations, we work to educate individuals about healthy relationships, self-worth, and the realities of domestic violence. Our goal is to create safe spaces for honest conversations while providing tools and resources that empower people to recognize toxic patterns and choose healthier paths.
While our mission focuses on prevention and education, our work is also about healing, helping survivors and communities move forward with strength, knowledge, and support.
​
Every event we host, every conversation we start, and every life we touch is done in honor of Maylaysia and the belief that awareness, education, and compassion can save lives.
​
This work is deeply personal for me, but it is also bigger than any one story. It is about building a community where love is safe, voices are heard, and no one has to suffer in silence.
​
Because at the heart of everything we do is one simple truth:
​
Safe love saves lives.
