Love in the Mirror
Love in the Mirror began with the love of Jonas, a 6-year-old boy who wanted to help kids that were less fortunate than him by giving them things he felt no child should live without. The idea grew into a non-profit organization that strives to meet the needs of disadvantaged youth, while at the same time, kids like Jonas can gain the ability to develop self-esteem and learn great leadership skills. With the support of dedicated adults, these kids can grow into great community leaders and feel good about themselves, while they offer those in need clothes, toiletries, learning materials, toys and a chance to be happy so they can look in the mirror and love what they see.

Maximus Corona was born in Long Beach, CA and has been volunteering since the age of 4 when he began helping his mom pickup and deliver food to a women’s shelter for a local food bank. After attending Love in the Mirror’s 1st G.I.V.E. Youth Empowerment Workshop, he became inspired and decided he wanted to help out more. Out of his love for the ocean, he founded Ocean Maximus to help address the issue of trash in the ocean. Along with speaking to students at local schools about how trash ends up in the ocean, he adopted a local beach. Since 2014, he has organized 7 beach clean-ups in his hometown of Long Beach, CA. Volunteers of all ages join Maximus to help pick up trash at the beach. On average, there are 15-20 volunteers at each event who help pick up trash. When Maximus is not organizing beach clean-ups, he works with Love in the Mirror doing research, donation sorting, delivery and event planning. He also sits on their Youth Advisory Board. Maximus has volunteered over 800 hours since the age of 4. In his spare time, he loves listening to music, cooking, acting, coding and everything space related.

“Jonas’s commitment to help homeless youth at such a young age is inspiring.” Ricki Lake, The Ricki Lake Show
A pop culture icon who has built a career on her candid, “straight talk” sensibility and her authentic, relatable nature, Ricki Lake has maintained a worldwide fan base that is a true cross-section of age and ethnicity. Her approachable appeal has charmed international movie and television audiences for more than two decades, and she has managed to reinvent herself at every stage of her career. As “Tracy Turnblad,” the zaftig heroine of the original John Waters’ film HAIRSPRAY, Lake made an acting debut that positioned her as an “entertainer to watch” in Hollywood. Later, with a surprise turn as a talk show host, she met with unprecedented success and earned her place as a beloved media personality across the globe.
Ricki made her much-anticipated return to TV with The Ricki Lake Show, an all-new talk show from Twentieth Television in September 2012. Lake has also completed work on a memoir, NEVER SAY NEVER: FINDING A LIFE THAT FITS, for Simon & Schuster’s Atria imprint, on shelves now. She has, in addition, become an online voice for mothers, providing editorial contributions to outlets including Momformation – all while showcasing her dancing ability as a beloved finalist on Season 13 of ABC’s DANCING WITH THE STARS.
Some of her latest roles – surprisingly, an independent filmmaker, family advocate and author – have kept her uniquely charming perspective firmly in the public’s consciousness. Lake executive produced the critically acclaimed documentary THE BUSINESS OF BEING BORN, which debuted at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival and examined natural childbirth in the United States. Lake and director Abby Epstein released a four-part, follow-up DVD series, MORE BUSINESS OF BEING BORN, in 2011 offering invaluable information and featuring birth stories from some of Hollywood’s most notable celebrities.

Jonas began volunteering when he was just 4 years old by feeding homeless people on Skid Row with his mom and aunt Janet. It was just 2 short years later that he decided to take it one step further and start his own organization to benefit homeless youth. Since then, Jonas has helped over 7,000 people with basic necessities like food and clothes. He has organized drives, picked up donations, spoke in front of hundreds of people and inspired everyone he meets. Along with running his own organization and helping thousands of people, young Jonas attends the local bilingual charter, New City where he will be entering the 4th grade in the fall of 2012. He spends the rest of his spare time playing tennis under Valter Paiva at the Billie Jean King Tennis center in Long Beach, and piano with his music teacher Jewel. Jonas is a strict vegetarian, loves to draw, play with his brother, cousins and friends, and enjoys being part of a traditional Aztec dance circle. Jonas believes that everyone can make a difference no matter how old you are or where you came from.

Why was Love in the Mirror started?
(Letter Above that Jonas wrote when he was 6 years old about why he started Love in the Mirror)
Hi my name is Jonas. I got the idea to start love in the mirror when I went with my mom to feed the homeless. I help out by stirring the punch or hot chocolate and giving them clothes. I go every month with my mom and my aunt. One time there were homeless kids and they were very hungry. They waited in line behind everybody so they could get a plate of food and some clothes there were no kid’s clothes for them. It made me feel sad because I wish nobody was homeless and they had lots of food to eat and they could have a home. Every month I go back to feed the homeless because there’s homeless people that don’t have food and they are starving and they don’t have food to eat or they sleep on the ground because they don’t have a bed to sleep on and I go to feed the homeless people because they don’t have a home or they don’t have anything to play with. I don’t know why we can’t go every day because they can’t afford to buy food so we just do it once a month so we wait for each month for them to buy the food and to feed the homeless people. I want to help kids because they don’t have food, clothes, toys and some don’t go to school. I want to help them out so they can feel happy for themselves and thankful for people like me. It makes me feel happy that I am helping and that is why I wanted to start love in the mirror. I chose the name because it reminds me of a song and the song makes me think of people who don’t have toys and clothes because every kid should look in the mirror and love themselves.

Love in the Mirror Children’s Library was moved from the Long Beach Free Store, which closed September 2013 and currently donates books to organizations who help low-income children around the Los Angeles and Orange County areas.
Jonas had been working on this project since he found out that children who do not have permanent residence could not apply for a library card. This has since changed but one can never have enough books. With the support of our donors and the community, we have collected books for all ages and currently give away thousands of books during the year and another thousand during out toy giveaway in December.
