Kayla's Hope - It's OKAY to not be OKAY

This foundation was formed to bring awareness and raise funding for Mental Illness in our community. That It’s OKAY to not be OKAY.

Kayla’s Hope Foundation was created by Hans, Ruthie and Hannah Lehmann of Saint Charles, IL in loving memory of their beautiful daughter and sister, Kayla Brooke Lehmann (April 5, 2003- April 7, 2018). The Foundation has been established to provide financial support to mental health organizations as well as scholarships to graduating high school seniors with a passion for music and literature. The Foundation’s goal is to get rid of the stigma associated with Mental Illness. Opening up and sharing our stories of how we have all been affected by mental illness whether it be in your families, friends or even yourself, allows others to feel more comfortable in sharing what they may be going through.
