Why lumi exists

Every person who has every walked into a room and felt like the extra chair -- this was built for you.

Origin & Mission

lumi started one belief: that no one going through a major life transition should have to go through it alone. Divorce, diagnosis, coming out, moving to a new city, losing a job, grieving -- these are the moments people most need community, and most often lost it.  lumi exists to close that gap. 

All genders. All identities. All dogs. This is not a suggestion -- it is the standard. Whoever you are, however you arrive here, you belong.
