Love Without Reason USA

Philip Mathews, the inspiration behind Love Without Reason, was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee. His journey on earth through twenty-five surgeries was difficult, challenging, and with pain. Yet, his resilience and joy motivated Santhosh and Susan Mathews to be open and transparent when it comes to raising a child with special needs, and grieving the loss of that beautiful child.

Philip’s mission and dream was to work “Until the World is Cleft Free and Until There are No More Sold.” The efforts of Love Without Reason to build awareness groups that are educated about human trafficking has been launched through the speaking engagements and the fundraising events of the founders of Love Without Reason. Together, we will work to continue Philip’s legacy.
