The Heart Behind the Name

When you shop at L&L Creations, you aren't just supporting a small business. You're supporting a journey that has been decades in the making.

The question I get asked most is: "What does the L&L stand for?"

The answer is a story of miracles, family, and the kindness of strangers.

The First "L": Lily

My journey with transplants began long ago. In 2002, I received my first kidney transplant — a life-saving gift donated by my incredible Mum. It gave me years of health, but by 2017, I found myself in need of another miracle.

That miracle came in the form of a woman named Michelle. After reading my story on Facebook, she stepped forward to donate her kidney to me. When I asked her, "Why me?", she simply said she noticed I was a huge Harry Potter fan — and so was she.

Transplant patients often name their "new beans," and given that a selfless act of love brought us together, I named my kidney Lily, after the Gryffindor hero, Lily Potter. It is because of my Mum and Michelle that I am here today, living life to the fullest and pursuing my passion.

The Second "L": Lucy

The second "L" stands for Lucy, my gorgeous granddaughter.

For a long time, I faced the very real fear that I wouldn't be here to see my grandchildren. But because of the love of my family and the kindness of a stranger, I get to be a "Granny." I get to watch my energetic, strong-willed granddaughter grow up, and that is a gift I never take for granted.
