About Us

You Matter, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in memory of our 16-year-old son, Brady, with a mission to bring comfort, love, hope, awareness, and support to those affected by suicide and mental health struggles. Through compassion, community outreach, and conversation, You Matter seeks to remind every person that their life has purpose and value.

Operating both a mobile outreach trailer and a brick-and-mortar storefront in Shawnee Township, Ohio, You Matter provides resources, supportive merchandise, and a safe space for connection. The organization travels across the United States—attending fairs, festivals, 5Ks, suicide awareness and remembrance events to spread the message that “It’s not weak to speak.”

You Matter, Inc. partners with schools, law enforcement, first responders, and local businesses to promote mental health awareness, strengthen community relationships, and support families navigating grief. Proceeds from merchandise and donations help fund outreach efforts, comfort packages, and mental-health initiatives designed to save lives and spark conversations that matter.
