Who We Are
Working to build a world where no teenager feels hopeless.
Matthew-Smiles was created by Lou and Juliane Cabral to honor their son Matthew; a healthy kid who showed no signs of mental health issues but died by suicide. The Cabral’s purpose in creating the Foundation is to help other kids and their families understand and bring awareness to mental health, whether they show signs of mental illness or not. Matthew-Smiles will help fund programs and other mental health resources, and help create a stable, non-threatening environment that kids can be open to talking with each other and their families. If we can help prevent one family from experiencing the heartbreak of losing a child in this way, then Matthew’s legacy will be one of hope and healing. Thank you for sharing our mission with us.
