Our Story

2L stands for Love and Light, two forces every child deserves in their digital world. Love is the steady presence of empathy and encouragement that helps children feel valued and protected. Light represents clarity, truth, and protection, shining into the darkest corners of the internet where predators and risks try to hide.

Love and Light work hand in hand. Love gives children courage, and Light gives them direction. One cannot work without the other. Both are needed to protect childhood in a connected world.

We saw the gap between growing online risks and the practical tools parents and schools had. That gap is where exploitation thrives. So we created two accessible answers: a free Parent Course and a ready to teach Middle School Curriculum.

Together, we are building a future where every child can grow up safe, confident, and unafraid online.

Board Member

Kim M. Bondy

Many of our children are in danger due to a profit-driven network involved in the kidnapping and trafficking of youth. I am committed to combating this serious issue both in our nation and around the globe.

For nearly a decade, I served as a Board Member for the Oakland County Child Abuse and Neglect Council in Michigan, where we rescued and provided temporary housing for abused children. Locally, I support a fundraising group dedicated to offering shelter and rehabilitation for rescued abused children in South Florida.

With over 30 years of experience in the corporate world, I primarily focused on business development at companies like Deloitte Consulting, Siebel, and PeopleSoft. Additionally, I have a passion for interior design and have recently enjoyed creating beautifully curated living spaces for my clients.

It is an honor to be a Board Member of the 2L Foundation. Films like “Sound of Freedom“ and “City of Dreams” highlight this heart-wrenching challenge we face. Let’s join forces to put an end to the tragic harm inflicted on our children.
