A Life Cut Short, A Legacy of Healing
Thirty-seven years ago, David Perez, Founder and CEO of the Lumati Foundation, faced a tragedy that forever shaped his life. A devastating car accident claimed the life of Michelle Pulaski, a young woman with dreams of becoming a doctor and helping others. This loss, while deeply painful, planted the seed for a mission that would go on to transform lives worldwide.
In Michelle’s honor, David has dedicated his life to healing humanity and bringing hope to those in need. His journey—from disaster relief leadership to founding the Lumati Foundation—has been guided by a singular purpose: to make wellness, innovation, and healing accessible to all.
Giving Back, Growing Together
The Lumati Foundation is more than an organization—it is a promise. A promise to transform pain into progress, science into solutions, and care into action. Together, we honor Michelle’s legacy and continue the journey to heal humanity, one life at a time.
