Philanthropy

We believe that life isn't about just taking what you need. We believe that giving back, part of your self or financially, is incredibly important. For 2025 we have started a new initative at LHD - for each project we accept, we will make a financial contribution to cause we are passionate about. Aside from volunteer work, non-profits need funds to continue doing their great tasks.

Giving back to our communities, animals and others is a cornerstone of my beliefs and my whole team. I believe that its imperative that we help those in need - be it furry or feathered or walking on 2 legs. So, we do things throughout the year to follow through on those beliefs. We are happy to support some amazing organizations across the world with our giving - both personally and professionally.

As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way."

Stand in Pride - This new organization has a great mission! It's a 501(c)3 nonprofit founded by Daniel Blevins and established in 2024, dedicated to connecting members of the LGBTQ+ community with a chosen family, friends, and support. They help connect members of the LGBTQ+ community with other members and allies for emotional support whether virtually, in person, or by standing in at important life events. They believe in the power of acceptance and the profound impact of having a supportive family—especially for those in the LGBTQ+ community who have taken the brave step to come out. Unfortunately, not everyone receives the support they deserve. They match LGBTQ+ individuals without family support with allies that will stand in for them - to find a chosen family. Stand in Pride has thousands of members worldwide ready and willing to shower those in need with support and love. These volunteers are willing to physically show up for any special occasion to offer unconditional support and love to those who need it most. Their diverse community of problem-solvers are ready to physically stand by your side for any special occasion, embracing different perspectives and take bold steps to face today’s challenges together. Jennifer and Sereena can't wait to be part of this movement!
