The JudyMaeLee Foundation

Supporting survivors of suicide and the families who stay.
Currently in formation as a nonprofit organization.

Why this Foundation Exists

The JudyMaeLee Foundation was born from my own lived experience. When my daughter survived a suicide attempt, I had the love and support of friends and family — but what we didn’t have was money.

Because of financial restraints, my daughter didn’t get access to the level of help she truly needed. I know firsthand how painful and isolating that reality can be.

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.
