ZunZun Sonrisa was created in tribute to the life and legacy of Lindsay Martin. A Phoenix native, Lindsay was a born helper; though she struggled at times to love herself, loving others came naturally. In 2008, Lindsay’s desire to be part of something bigger than herself came to fruition when she enlisted in the United States armed forces. Military service proved to be a tremendous outlet for Lindsay’s truest self to be expressed; she excelled as a leader and caregiver, drawing fellow recruits under her wing. Devastatingly, service also meant encountering both combat trauma in Iraq and sexual trauma within the very ranks of the institution where she had come to feel at home.

As a result, Lindsay’s ability to care for herself declined and she left military service with full medical benefits and a plan to enter rehab. Once again, Lindsay thrived in a supportive environment and worked hard to get clean and build a new life for herself. She began teaching, working hard to bring the best to her students, giving of herself as was her way.
