Founded in 2021. Kayla’s Heart Foundation Inc. was created to carry on Kayla R. Peterson’s legacy of helping those in need. Kayla was a beautiful soul who departed from us at the hand of suicide in 2018 due to suffering from anxiety and depression. As one of Kayla's many close friends, Jasmine N. Patron began this foundation through the recommendation of her therapist.

 

In a session, her therapist advised she needed to do something that would honor Kayla's impact in her life. In that moment, the thought of how much Kayla's life not only touched Jasmine's but so many people who loved her, the foundation came to life. At Kayla's Heart Foundation Inc. we strive to mimic the heart of Kayla through helping those who are silently suffering inside and battling mental health illnesses.
