WHAT WE DO
The Purpose in Pain Foundation was established to support young people in discovering their purpose amid life's challenges and uncertainties. Our mission focuses on fostering positive business and spiritual mindsets among today's youth to help decrease rates of suicide, gang involvement, and incarceration.
One of our key initiatives involves Reggie The Lion, a plush toy that shares uplifting affirmations, encouraging positive thinking and strong beliefs in children. We offer various programs, including emotional support, spiritual wellness, life coaching, and business coaching services. We believe that cultivating a life centered around wholeness will empower individuals to enhance their personal lives
and career journeys.
Your Pain Does Not Define Who You Are
WHO ARE OUR RECIPIENTS
We provide support to children and young adults who may be going through trauma and significant life challenges. This includes individuals from low-income families dealing with poverty, those living in households impacted by domestic violence, children with one or both parents in prison, and those facing serious health issues.
​WHY ARE WE WORTHY OF CHARITABLE GIVING
From a young age, children in at-risk populations frequently experience intense, repeated, or prolonged exposure to significant traumatic events that activate stress responses. Those living in poverty are especially susceptible to frightening or threatening circumstances compared to their peers. This continual exposure can lead to various academic, behavioral, and health issues. A notable example is Reginald Foreman, the founder of the Purpose in Pain Foundation. Overcoming a life marked by abuse, violence, grief, and crime, Mr. Foreman has become a published author and a respected speaker. Understanding the impact of trauma and toxic stress, he established the Purpose in Pain Foundation to create a brighter future for those in need.
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
Supportive environments can greatly reduce trauma and toxic stress. Sadly, many children do not have access to this essential support. As a result, we need innovative and effective solutions to foster hope, encouragement, and empowerment. Reggie the Lion plays a crucial role in this regard. Parents, educators, and mental health professionals have all noted the positive influence of this uplifting character, believing it provides substantial encouragement to young children.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE ACHIEVE OUR FINANCIAL GOALS
The Purpose in Pain Foundation envisions a future where Reggie the Lion becomes a globally recognized figure, inspiring purpose, faith, and confidence in young children to empower them. This vision encompasses a range of initiatives, including plush toys and dolls, storybooks, animated series, films, a tech application experience, a fashion line, and a mentorship program.
