ABOUT US
The Miles Hall Foundation promotes initiatives that will save lives and will protect those impacted by mental illness. We believe in taking action with urgency in order to raise public awareness about mental illness and to bring about necessary change. Please join us by supporting our efforts to make measurable differences in the lives of those impacted by mental illness.
“I found out that you have to be a danger to self or a danger to others to get help. Preventative help was literally impossible to find.”
If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts or mental health matters, please call or text 9-8-8 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to connect with a trained counselor or visit the Lifeline site.

REMEMBERING OUR LOVED ONES
The Miles Hall Foundation, with help from members of the community, purchased benches and tables and worked together to transform a small park near where Miles lived, to remember Miles, Andrew King, and Aisha Horley and other loved ones who left us too soon.
The park in Walnut Creek has now been renamed "Remembrance Park" and is a place of reflection and remembrance for many. Many people have sponsored a custom memorial brick which have been placed in the park for a loved one. Future opportunities to add more memorials are being planned.
We had a pizza and cupcakes at the park on Tuesday February 15, 2023 to honor Miles' 27th birthday and dedicate the 24 new bricks recently added. If you're in the area, please visit this special place/
Where: Remembrance Park Walnut Creek between Lancaster & Lilac
