Nadeem was one of the most funny, caring, loving, human beings that ever walked this earth. He would always find a way to help others and make people feel good about themselves,  even while he was going through his own  struggles. 


A few years ago Nadeem started suffering from  mental illness and was diagnosed with  bipolar schizophrenia.  This was something that Nadeem struggled on a daily basis.  


Nadeem had a lot of support from his family and A handful of his closest friends that he knew he could always count on at any time.  As Nadeem learned more about his mental illness he realized that not many people had the love and support that he had. 


Nadeem put together 2 events to promote mental illness awareness in Southern Cali. He  wanted to share his story to others, and wanted  people to learn more about what mental illness was about. 


 People need to learn more about mental illness and how they can accept,  help, and support those suffering with whatever type of mental illness they have.  Through the Nadeem U. Farooqi  Mental Health Awareness Foundation, we will provide help, and support to those in need. Through this  foundation we will help spread awareness so  that first responders, family members, friends,  and colleagues can learn how to approach  Someone who is having a mental breakdown or a manic episode. 


Raising awareness of mental illness was something Nadeem was very passionate about. We will continue to keep his memory and legacy alive and do what he would want in helping  others.
