The BrokenWing Foundation has been providing support for families affected by mental illness since 2009, by bringing awareness to their communities and supplying valuable resources to help those who've been impacted.
ABOUT US
Since 2009, the mission of the BrokenWing Foundation is to help victims affected by mental illness by providing education and support to their families. We understand that while various charities and government services exist to help people dealing with a variety of hardships, so often criteria are not met to qualify for assistance, or in time for immediate needs.
The goal of BrokenWing Foundation is to help families with financial hardship due to mental illness treatments. The foundation hosts events for the benefit of receiving donations, as well as food drives, and by selling merchandise for the sole benefit of those affected. We hope to change the lives of families who have been affected by mental illness. Perhaps you, or someone you know, are experiencing hardship. Please contact us to see if we can help.

Sincerely,
Founder, Phabian Smith
