Welcome To Lean On Foundation

Cooper William Prorok took his life at the young age of 15. He was a kind and loving boy who will never get to tell his story; We had no indications that he was having mental health issues and contemplating suicide.  There will be an empty space in our hearts forever.  We want to make a difference in his honor.

You can make a difference!

It only takes a second to ask how somebody's day is going or to give a simple compliment.

 The mission of Lean On Foundation is to be the light on your darkest days, the hope when in despair, the voice of a story unfinished;
Suicide awareness, suicide prevention, and mental wellness has become our passion and we will always be your shoulder to Lean On.
