Because access to help shouldn’t depend on your income.
Currently in formation as a nonprofit organization.

Why this Foundation Exists

The JudyMaeLee Foundation was born from my own experience as a mother fighting to get her daughter help during a mental health crisis, this nonprofit exists to support families navigating suicide, survival, and grief especially when money is a barrier to care. It’s about healing, community, and truth-telling

That’s why this foundation exists to help other families who are hurting but overlooked. To be a lifeline for people who are surviving something that few talk about.

The JudyMaeLee Foundation will provide support to individuals and families navigating suicide-related crisis and loss, especially those facing financial barriers.

It will also be a space for healing, community, and real conversations around suicide, survival, and grief.

Mission statement

Our mission is to support individuals impacted by suicide and the families who love them — through resources, connection, and compassionate care.

Vision statement

A world where every individual has access to hope, healing, and help—regardless of financial barriers. We envision a future where mental health care is accessible, families are supported, and no life is lost to silence or lack of resources.
