"I grew up in the foster system, where survival often came before dreams. My life changed because mentors saw potential in me, and education expanded my horizons. Too many others never get that chance. Lifting Life is my answer, a global movement bringing those same opportunities, tools, and unwavering belief to underrepresented children, empowering them to rise from survival to leadership."
- Hristijan Stojković, Founder
