As of now, this is one person's grassroots passion project. You can call me Sunn or Sunnflower, and my goal is to seek out those who are struggling to meet basic needs and/or fit into the mold that society demands of us, to give them a moment of relief and plant a seed of hope within them through acts of kindness. I also intend to give these people a platform to share their stories and ideas, and to join the conversation of homelessness and home-free living, in order to combat the stigma and dehumanization of people who live that lifestyle, whether they chose it or not. My hope is that through sharing their personal stories, they may also receive donations directly from viewers like yourself, through Cashapp, Venmo, or PayPal.
I chose the name LILAC (Love in Live Action Coalition) not only because I want to spread love, share videos and interviews, and connect with others with the same mission, but also in memory of my friend Keith Davis, who went missing at sea as a Fisheries Observer in 2015. Keith was an activist for countless causes who inspired and helped people around the world, and who continues to do so even after his death. During a low time in my life, Keith took me outside of his home to show me the lilacs he had planted.. he picked one and handed it to me while I was crying. It was a small gesture, but one full of silent acknowledgment and love that meant the world to me at that moment. I hope to share that same sense of meaning with others, to remind people that they are seen, they are loved, and they are supported.
