Allison Dayton is the founder of the Lift and Love Foundation, which she created to support families with LGBTQ members. Allison lost her brother, who was gay, to suicide at the same time her 17-year-old son was coming out. Looking for resources to help her family she couldn’t find anything that embraced both her religious beliefs and her son’s identity. Lift and Love fills that much needed space for thousands of families and individuals. Allison and her husband Kenn live in Salt Lake City, Utah, where they are thrilled to watch their grown children create exciting lives and families of their own.
