Welcome to Trey Loves You!

Trey Loves You is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing hope and support to all who feel unseen, alone, and vulnerable.

Our mission is clear and heartfelt: to love, uplift, and inspire.

  • Love: Showing those who feel unseen and alone that they are truly loved and that they matter deeply.
  • Uplift: Offering genuine hope and meaningful help to those who feel they have neither.
  • Inspire: Inspiring others to join us in spreading compassion, kindness, and support.

A Million Acts of Love

“The smallest ripple of love can reach the farthest shore.”

The Butterfly and the Ripple

There’s a story that says when a butterfly flaps its wings on one side of the world, it can eventually stir a breeze on the other.

A single, delicate act, something so small it’s almost invisible, can set into motion a chain of events that grows far beyond what the eye can follow.

Love works the same way.

One smile.
One hug.
One act of kindness.

Each one sends a ripple across the world, touching hearts, lifting spirits, shifting lives, even when we don’t witness the outcome.

Your Challenge

Today, we invite you to create your own ripples—one small act of love at a time.  You don’t need a grand gesture to change someone’s life, just a willing heart.

Your first ripple can be much simpler than you think:

  • Ask someone how they’re really doing—and don’t rush the answer.
    True love listens. Sometimes just being present can save someone’s day, or even their life.
  • Tell someone, sincerely, “You matter.”
    Those two words can break through walls of silence, self-doubt, and loneliness.
  • Send a simple message to someone who might need encouraging.
    A text, a DM, a sticky note—small gestures can echo louder than we know.
  • Smile at someone who looks invisible to the world.
    There is quiet dignity in being seen. Your smile may be the only kindness they receive that day.
  • Thank someone for something they’ve always done—but never been thanked for.
    Gratitude is love in action. And sometimes, the things we take for granted are the things people most need to hear are noticed.

You may never witness the impact of your loving act, but its echo will move outward, touching many along the way, until it reaches the one who needed it most.

Together, We Create the Wave

Imagine a million small acts of love—simple, ordinary moments, gathering, growing, becoming a tide of hope in a hurting world.

Start your tide today!
Because to the one person you reach, it will matter more than you’ll ever know.
