The public mission
Live to Love
Live to Love is the mission behind Josh Liljenquist's work: listening, sharing people's stories with care, and connecting public attention with practical support.
It is a public mission, not a nonprofit, crowdfunding platform, or central fundraiser.
How the work happens
- Listen and review.Stories begin with a public nomination or a documented encounter. Not every submission is selected or published.
- Connect practical support.Help may include outreach, recipient-specific fundraising, donated services, or follow-up.
- Publish with care.Share stories with care for privacy, clear sources, and credit for the people who helped.
- Share follow-ups when available.Later outcomes are added only when a supported public update exists.

Ways to support the work
General support helps with outreach, travel, production, and follow-up. Recipient fundraisers are separate campaigns linked from the relevant story pages, and Josh does not receive those funds unless a page explicitly says otherwise.
How support is documented
Each story page separates the initial need, support provided, later documented outcomes, and important limits. Read the Impact methodology, review Trust & Care, or use the contact page for media questions or corrections.
