Mission Statement
As a paramedic, I have seen firsthand how mental health struggles and lack of resources can impact a person’s life. Project Ring was founded to bridge that gap by providing support, awareness, and tangible aid to those in need. Through partnerships with nonprofits like Project Kind in Rockaway, NJ, we engage in community outreach and fund essential services for individuals facing homelessness and mental health challenges.
By selling handmade beaded bracelets, we raise funds to help provide housing assistance, clothing, food, haircuts, and professional attire for job interviews. Our long-term mission is to work directly with those struggling to maintain employment due to mental health challenges—helping them access the care, medication, and support they need to break the cycle that often leads to homelessness.
At Project Ring, we believe that no one should have to fight their battles alone. Through education, advocacy, and action, we are committed to making a lasting impact in our community.
