Austin Graves' Foundation

The family of Austin Graves is raising money to start a much-needed foundation. Our goal for the Austin Graves Foundation™ is to help provide a more efficient and effective way to bridge the gap between families who need help with Mental Health and drug abuse issues and the resources available to them before it is too late.

Austin Graves was a sweet, loving, and caring soul who would do anything for anyone. It didn’t matter who you were or, where you came from, Austin made friends with everyone he met.

He wanted to make this world a better place and definitely tried. Austin was the person that would talk to and include anyone, especially, if they were sitting alone. He would sit down and talk with complete strangers, asking them about their struggles in life, offering advice or try to help. He would offer whatever he had to give, even if that meant he would have nothing left.

Austin was also an amazingly talented artist who was very passionate about playing guitar and skateboarding. He won many skateboarding competitions and, shared his love of skateboarding by teaching many others to skate.

Sadly, Austin had demons and struggled with them often. His mental health struggles, coupled with addiction were no secret to his friends or family. He was always asking questions and trying to seek help in finding his answers. Austin wanted to better understand what he was battling. Unfortunately, it was not that simple.

Austin's family does not want his death to be in vain!

So many people suffer from mental illness and don’t know how to help themselves or can’t get help quickly enough and will often turn to drugs as a way to escape their reality.

We hope that all of Austin’s friends and family will join our fight to raise awareness for Mental Health and the dangers of Fentanyl or any drug use. All funds donated here will be used to launch the Austin Graves Foundation™.
