In Loving Memory of Joseph D. Feaster III
From grief to purpose: a family’s promise to
advance mental wellness for all.
Joseph was a son, brother, friend, and bright light. In 2010, we lost him to suicide. Out of that heartbreak, our family made a promise: to fight stigma, to open doors to care, and to make sure fewer families walk this path alone. The Feaster Family Foundation is Joseph’s legacy transforming love into action.
