SHANE'S IMAGINE-NATION

Building a Kinder, More Compassionate World for Our Children

Shane’s Imagine-Nation was born from love and loss — inspired by my son Shane, who tragically died by suicide at just 11 years old due to bullying. This nonprofit is my way to honor his memory by creating a safe space where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to spread kindness.

After launching Shane’s Imagine-Nation, life took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Greenville South Carolina to help care for my terminally ill stepdad — who was also Shane’s beloved “buddy.” During that time, the nonprofit had to take a backseat while I focused on family. Now, with renewed strength and purpose, I am relaunching Shane’s Imagine-Nation to continue the mission Shane inspired.

We believe kindness isn’t just a feeling — it’s an action that can change lives. Through school-based Kindness Clubs, youth mental wellness workshops, and community outreach programs, Shane’s Imagine-Nation helps kids develop empathy, resilience, and the tools they need to thrive. 

• Bullying and isolation affect thousands of children every day, often with heartbreaking consequences.
   
• Mental health challenges among youth are growing but still too often go unaddressed.
   
• Early intervention through kindness and connection can save lives and build stronger communities.
