Throughout her battle, I felt helpless when I couldn't find resources, or when health insurance capped off at a certain amount to support rehab and treatment programs. The stigma and lack of assistance associated with both addiction and mental health is disheartening. We’re launching Jada’s Journey to honor Jada's memory by giving other families going through this difficult journey financial assistance, educational resources and emotional support. Our Mission: To provide guidance and financial support to families who have children who suffer from addiction or mental illness and who have exhausted all financial resources for treatments and related programs. Strive to make an impact by providing educational resources to raise awareness of addiction and mental illness in the community. Enabling families to make connections through support groups. Create a program to speak at schools, youth groups and community organizations to share Jada's Journey and address the stigma associated with addiction and mental illness.
