"Your Mental Health Matters. Today and Every Day."

This World Mental Health Day, let’s remember that mental health is just as important as physical health.

Every small act of care - checking in on a friend, taking a moment for yourself, or simply being kind can make a difference. Mental health is a continuous journey that deserves attention, understanding, and care.

Take time to listen, to reflect, and to care for yourself and those around you. Together, we can create a world where mental health is valued, supported, and celebrated. You are not alone. Your feelings are valid. Your well-being matters.

🌟 This Week’s Nonprofit Spotlight: Shraddha Maanu Foundation 🌟

What if a college degree didn’t guarantee agency for women, and a school admission didn’t guarantee learning for children? Sadly, that’s the reality for many low-income families in India.

Shraddha Maanu Foundation is rewriting this reality through two powerful programs:

Upasana – training female graduates to become skilled educators, giving them meaningful employment and financial independence.

Vipasana – an after-school program that creates happy and effective classrooms for children in low-income communities, turning them from passive listeners into active learners.

So far, they’ve empowered 250 women to reclaim agency in their lives, and enabled 2000 children to receive holistic, joyful education — building confidence, resilience, and the skills to escape generational poverty.

We’re proud to have Shraddha Maanu Foundation on the Neki platform. Explore their impact, support their work, and be part of a movement where education uplifts both women and children.

This week, we’re shining a light on Butterflies By Blaq Incorporated - a nonprofit bringing confidence and care to children across the NY Tri-State area and beyond, now on the Neki platform!

Founded by Madame EJ Blackman and Kaiya Blackman, Butterflies BBI helps children (18 and under) who experience hair loss due to cancer treatments, alopecia, and other medical conditions by providing FREE hair replacements and solutions.

What makes them truly special? They go the extra mile — literally! Whether it’s a home or hospital visit, early morning or late evening, they meet families where they are. Each child receives a look that reflects their personality, their identity, and their smile.

Through their Pink Butterflies program, kids also get to participate in self-esteem workshops and fun outings.

Because at Butterflies BBI, it’s not just about hair it’s about restoring confidence, dignity, and joy.

Imagine a world where every home is safe, every relationship is free from fear, and every survivor of abuse is supported with compassion and dignity. That’s exactly what Laurel House has been working toward for over four decades.

Founded in the early 1980s, Laurel House grew out of a simple but powerful idea - women helping women. From its first domestic violence shelter in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, it has evolved into a comprehensive agency offering emergency shelter, 24/7 hotline & textline, transitional housing, counseling, legal advocacy, medical partnerships, children’s programs, and community education.

The name Laurel House carries meaning too: the laurel is Pennsylvania’s state flower and a symbol of victory - representing the courage of every survivor who takes the first step toward a violence-free life.

Today, Laurel House continues to empower individuals and families, advocate for justice, and partner with the community to end domestic violence. And now, they’re also on the Neki platform - making it easier for supporters to connect, collaborate, and strengthen this vital mission.

Want to get involved? There’s a special opportunity coming up
