America's foster care is home to 400,000+ children and youth.

Of the roughly 60,000 youth in California's foster care system, more than half call Los Angeles County home. Hundreds "age out" as adults each year to face distinctly challenging circumstances.

We Believe

Youth Deserve Opportunity

For over a decade, Mo has served on the Board of Directors for Peace4Kids. As an engaged fundraiser and mentor, Mo understands firsthand the challenges youth face navigating early adulthood.

Fashion is a Pathway

Fashion is full of opportunities to learn, grow, create, and add value. The challenge of learning all aspects of producing apparel formed the foundation of LA Apparel Services, a respected fashion production firm and inspiration behind Create MoLove.

Beyond Surviving

We believe in abundance.
By joining forces with established youth-serving organizations to form new support networks  and dynamic learning opportunities, we can multiply success stories and shift the equation of "aging out."
A Message From Our Founder

Dear Friends,

Create MoLove is more than a passion project. Finding my way in the fashion world from foster care is a gift to pay forward. This initiative stems from the unwavering support granted to me by my own mentors and lifelong friends. No one does anything worth doing alone, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support to open more windows, unlock more doors, and make room for possibility after foster care for our creative and deserving youth and young adults.
With Love,
- Mo
