About LIAH

Love Is A Habit - Reshaping the Future of This Generation

Our Mission

Love Is A Habit (LIAH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to reshaping the future of this generation. We believe that a generation given the tools to chase their dreams and aspirations can change the world.

We are dedicated to seeing our generation overcome the immense obstacles that have plagued our peers. Our mission is to move beyond simply avoiding hardship, toward a state of holistic flourishing.

We are witnessing a unique intersection in history: a mental health epidemic juxtaposed with rapid technological evolution. These forces have fundamentally changed how we interact, often leaving a generation feeling disconnected and ill-equipped. LIAH exists to bridge this gap.

Our Impact

In our first five months alone, we mobilized resources to create immediate change:

  • $18,000+raised in college scholarships
  • $15,000dedicated to educational camps
  • Launchedbusiness workshops, tutoring programs, and career development initiatives

"The scholarship LIAH provided made it possible for me to continue my education when I thought I'd have to drop out. They didn't just give me money—they gave me hope for my future." — Scholarship Recipient

Our Founders

Founded in Maryland in June 2022 by Ben Ezana and Drew Stoy, LIAH was born from a commitment to be the solution for the unique obstacles facing this generation.

Ben Ezana

  • • University of Chicago Law School graduate (Class of 2026)
  • • Brings rigorous legal and strategic expertise to nonprofit sector
  • • Ensures LIAH's systems are built for long-term, scalable impact
  • • Returning to DMV area to practice business law

"I founded LIAH because I believe this generation deserves more than just surviving—we deserve to thrive. Every system we build is designed for lasting impact."

Drew Stoy

  • • Global perspective from engaging with thousands across 110+ countries and all 50 U.S. states
  • • Expertise in business systems and customer relations optimization for psychology practices
  • • Bridges the gap between technological evolution and human connection
  • • Deep understanding of the modern mental health crisis

"After working with people worldwide, I saw the same pattern: disconnection in an age of hyper-connection. LIAH exists to restore what technology has broken."

Our Story

LIAH began with a simple observation: our generation is facing unprecedented mental health challenges while simultaneously being more connected than ever before. We saw young people struggling with anxiety, depression, and isolation—often while scrolling through perfectly curated social media feeds that made everyone else seem fine.

We asked ourselves: What if we could create something different? What if we could build an organization that doesn't just help people survive their struggles, but helps them flourish? What if we could combine the best of technology with the irreplaceable power of human connection?

That's why LIAH exists. We're not just another mental health resource—we're a movement to reshape how this generation thinks about support, growth, and what it means to truly thrive.
