Empowering Survival Through Community and Courage

This challenge was born from my own painful experience with suicidal ideation and the deep desire to create a world where no one has to suffer in silence. My mission is simple—but it comes from a very real place: to offer a space where people living with mental health struggles can find hope, connection, and understanding.

When you say “I HAVE,” you’re not just saying words—you’re speaking truth. You’re making a declaration of survival, of strength, of still being here. For me, this challenge is more than a campaign. It’s an invitation. An invitation to anyone who has ever faced the darkest moments to step forward—to know that even in the shadows, you are not alone. I’ve lived through the shame, the silence, the isolation that so often comes with mental health struggles. And I’m here to tell you: it doesn’t have to stay that way. When you share your story, you don’t just heal yourself—you offer light to someone else who may still be in the dark.

Through the I HAVE Challenge, I’m working to create a culture rooted in honesty, hope, community, and empowerment. A space where truth isn’t feared—it’s honored. I believe every life matters, and through this platform, I want to remind you that even in your brokenness, you still matter. So join me. Help spread the message of survival, of hope, of connection.

Let’s remind the world: even in the struggle, WE CHOOSE TO LIVE.
