The Stories of Changemakers
Courage. Resilience. Triumph.
Every individual has a unique reason for wanting to break the stigma of mental illnesses. Our community is full of people passionate about sharing their stories to help others. So when we asked you to “share your why,” we received many heartfelt responses — some sobering, some uplifting. The work of the Foundation of Hope is only possible because of Changemakers like you, partnering together to make a difference. We are grateful for every story, and for every step.
