Donating our Kids Books

We received a very generous donation from ColorSwell of art supplies. They are who we order from to pair drawing materials with our kids books to gift to The Boys and Girls Clubs of America and Shelters. Now we need to raise funds to provide enough of our kids books with these supplies.

If you haven’t looked at these books, they are about young children’s feelings and there are blank ages to encourage the child to draw and express their own feelings.

If you can donate to help this cause we would greatly appreciate it. Or if you want to gift our books you can purchase on Blurb.com and Amazon.com

Stay tuned for a sale on George’s original works of art also!!

My name is Lisa Yeager, I am George’s mom and the founder of GBY3 Foundation. George’s life was an amazing adventure that became a wild roller coaster ride due to mental illness. Our family attempted to educate ourselves as much as possible in order to help and support George in his struggles. In the 18 months since his passing while grieving and planning this foundation, the one thing that stands out more than anything is the need for education among students and erasing the stigma that surrounds mental health issues. Young people need to know it is OK to ask for someone to talk to. Adults need to listen with empathy and understanding. Looking to end your life is not a solution to any problem, neither is hurting yourself. My hope is to begin a nationwide conversation that puts our young people at ease with their social emotional health and encourages them to explore resources including counseling, therapy, self help, physicians and music and art therapy as well as yoga and meditation for self care.

In years to come we hope to influence change in the healthcare system for mental health patients to meet their needs in all health arenas and help prevent homelessness. The entire health and well being of the patient must be addressed and not dictated by lack of insurance or inconsistencies in government systems and health institutions.

It’s OK to not be OK…
