JAK-L Foundation - Founded In Memory of Julie A Konkol-Lulu
Our History
Jak-L Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in memory of Julie Lulu, a beloved daughter, sister, mother, niece and friend. We lost Julie to suicide in 2017 after a long battle with her own mental health struggles. Julie was a fierce, loving and goofy person and that got lost in the midst of her battle at times.
We as a family know how devastating the loss to suicide is and our goal is to raise money with the goal of supporting others and their families so that they don’t have to experience what we did.
Our mission is to expand mental health awareness, as well as directly impact our community to reduce the stigma around accessing mental health support. We want to directly support suicide prevention as part of our work and encourage the community to prioritize mental health.
Our Purpose
We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering communities through education and resources. Join us in our mission to create a better future for all by raising awareness and funding for the community organizations dedicated to battling mental health issues.
