This foundation was created in honor of my son, Joel, who was taken from me at the young age of 18 in 2019. Joel had a kind and selfless heart — he always put others before himself and was someone people could rely on in their hardest moments.

His ability to listen, support, and uplift those around him is something that continues to inspire this mission today. Through this foundation, I am committed to continuing his legacy by helping others find strength, healing, and direction in their lives.
