Today is May 3. The 16th anniversary of Yeardley's death.

Yeardley Love was 22 years old when she was killed by her ex-boyfriend — just weeks before she was set to graduate from the University of Virginia.

Her mother, Sharon Love, refused to let that be the end of the story. She founded One Love Foundation so that Yeardley's name would be attached to prevention — to the young people who would learn the warning signs, recognize an unhealthy relationship, and choose a different path.

We will reach more than 300,000 young people with this work this year alone. Every one of them now has tools Yeardley never had. In her memory, we educate. In her memory, we intervene early. In her memory, we protect the futures she never got to see.

Give today in honor of Yeardley to help us reach more young people with life-saving prevention education and prevent abuse before it begins.
