Why?
We started the foundation in honor of Julie Lynn Cardinal; our mother, sister, daughter, and friend. Julie lost her life in a senseless workplace violence, which was a result of mental illness.
Our end goal is to provide resources for those who find they need help with their mental health. However, we also provide scholarship to those who portray similar qualities as Julie.
Our recent recipients have been students who have an interest in using their voice, advocates for women's rights, and students who show a big interest in helping their community.
We have used your kind donations to donate to similar acts of violence as Julie's; for example the recent Colorado Shooting,
Your kind donations will allow us to focus on those who need our help. If by chance you know someone who can use our help, please feel free to contact us.
