A Note From Executive Director Zakery Ferry

According to National Alliance on Mental Illness, “1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience mental illness in a year; 1 in 5 youth (ages 13-18) experience a severe mental disorder in their lifetime.” This ranges from substance abuse, suicidal thoughts/actions, anxiety disorders, depression, and more.

Hana Designs: Getting people through chemo looking and feeling beautiful!

A month or so ago, I went wig shopping with my Mom as she was beginning chemo treatments. I was feeling emotional as we walked into Hana Designs, a wig studio that was recommended to my Mom through her cancer support group.  Almost instantly, we were greeted by Hana and any anxiety seemed to melt away.

After a few minutes of chatting to Hana, we realized we had met at Red Ball, an absolutely amazing fashion show to benefit the Colorado Aids Project. We instantly fell in love with this angel!

Meet Hana and learn more about what she does at her beautiful studio!

I am absolutely thrilled to be part of this amazing event happening this weekend as we all come together to tune out noise and tune into our hearts. This event was created through amazing people connecting through The Foundlings, a non-profit organization that I am a part of as Sammy Taggett and I bring hope and inspiration back to the orphanage where we came from! A beautiful soul, Sarah Westwood, helped us get this non-profit on it’s feet and she connected us with the amazing Michael Blu.  Their passions combined partnered up with the Foundlings for this memorable and peaceful event.
