OUR STORY

Welcome to 1Life1Chance Apparel

​

1Life1Chance is more than just a clothing brand. It represents a way of living and a message our family carries with us every day.

​

The inspiration behind 1Life1Chance comes from my brother, Carl, who was taken from us far too soon in 2011 as a result of gang violence. Carl was known for living by the motto “One Life, One Chance.”

​

To our family, those words mean something simple but powerful: you only get one life, so make the most of it. Live with purpose, appreciate the people around you, and never take tomorrow for granted.

​

Carl's words became part of his legacy, and today that message continues through our family and 1Life1Chance Apparel.

​

We would also like to thank our local law enforcement officers and everyone who played a role in investigating Carl's death. Their dedication and commitment to finding answers for our family will never be forgotten.

​​

There is one officer in particular who will always hold a special place in our hearts—Capt. Guerrero. He truly cared about Carl and our family and he did everything he could to help solve Carl's case. His compassion, determination, and dedication went far beyond simply doing his job.​​ Our family will forever be grateful to him. 

​

1Life1Chance Apparel was created to keep Carl's message and memory alive. Every time someone wears 1Life1Chance, we hope it serves as a reminder of what Carl believed: 

 

You have One Life. You have One Chance. Make it count.
