A Personal Message From Our Founder

“I started SUNSHINE because I watched someone I love experience a loneliness that no one should ever have to endure.

That experience taught me something I’ll never forget: everyone deserves friendship, belonging and to feel seen.

SUNSHINE is my promise that we’ll create places where people feel welcomed, valued and connected — but I know I can’t build that future on my own.

I’m not looking for experts.
