Bianca Lisonbee
Founder of Foundation 4Life
November 10, 1953 - October 3, 2023
“Alone, each of us can only influence the world in small ways. Together, we are extraordinary!”
When she was 15, Bianca wrote a poem called “The Sun.” She wrote about her desire to share warmth and light with people around the world. Bianca turned that dream into a reality as she shared love and light with everyone she met throughout her life.
With her husband, David Lisonbee, she founded 4Life in 1998, and in 2006, she founded Foundation 4Life: a non-profit organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty around the world. Bianca’s service efforts always focused on vulnerable children. She believed that when we change a child’s life, we are changing the future.
Bianca once said, “Alone, each of us can only influence the world in small ways. Together, we are extraordinary!” Through Foundation 4Life, Bianca achieved her dream from when she was 15 years old: she shared light and warmth with people around the world. Join us as we continue to honor her memory by sharing love and light with others through Foundation 4Life.
