Why we exist
Most of life's hardest moments happen quietly. In hospital hallways. In an empty nursery. On a Tuesday when getting out of bed feels impossible.
​
For years, the For the Hayters podcast has been a place where people say those things out loud. And every time someone shares their story, the messages pour in. Me too. I thought I was the only one. How do I even start?
​
The Foundation is our answer to that last question. The show surfaces the stories. The Foundation turns them into action.
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911.
We're a small team and can't respond to emergencies.
Our three pillarsÂ
Grief & Loss
For anyone carrying a loss, big or small, recent or years old. Because grief doesn't come with a timeline or an instruction manual.
Family Building & Parenthood
For the long, expensive, emotional road to becoming a family, and everything that comes after. Infertility, loss, adoption, IVF, and the messy middle of raising humans.
Mental Health & Invisible Illness
For the stuff people can't see from the outside. Anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic illness, and the exhausting work of just getting through the day.
How we helpÂ
Community
A place to be seen and heard by people who actually get it.
Straight answers and trusted places to turn, so you're not Googling at 2am alone.
Resources
Grants that help cover the real costs of hard seasons, for individuals and for the organizations already doing this work.
Financial Support
