Our Journey

A New

BEGINNING

January of 2020 brought the awful and unexpected loss of our beloved Megan. The outpouring of love from our community strengthened us then and empowers us now. Meg’s death doesn’t define her, but the way she lived is truly what inspires us.

We are committed to continue good works in her name to help those in need. Our mission is to strengthen the lives of at-risk youth and young adults so they may feel mentally healthy and receive needed mental health programming and support.

IF YOU NEED HELP RIGHT NOW:

Text or Call 988 or use the chat function at 988lifeline.org. If this is a medical emergency or there is immediate danger of harm, call 911 and explain that you need support for a mental health crisis.

With huge gratitude
