About Us

Welcome to MINEMATTERS FOUNDATION INC, where hearts connect, and healing begins. We’re more than an organization – we’re a family, born from the personal journey of someone who understands the pain, confusion, and courage it takes to face mental health challenges.
As an immigrant in the United States, our founder knows the unique struggles of navigating mental health in different worlds. It’s not just about crossing borders; it’s about crossing the borders within our minds. We’ve been there, and we’re here to say: that you’re not alone.

Message From CEO/Founder

Dear Minematters Foundation Community

I am humbled and honored to welcome you to our compassionate haven, where every mind matters. As the founder of this incredible journey, I want to share the inspiration behind our mission and the heartfelt commitment we bring to mental health advocacy.

Life can present challenges, and at times, it may seem like no one truly understands. But here, in our community, you’re not alone. I’ve been there, facing struggles with my own mental health. It’s okay not to be okay, and that’s why I founded this foundation—to create a place where everyone feels heard, valued, and supported.
This foundation was born from a simple truth: that every individual grappling with mental health challenges deserves compassion, understanding, and untiring support. My personal journey and encounters with the profound impact of mental health struggles have ignited a fire within me to create a sanctuary where stories are heard, and no one faces their battles alone.
