This story started with a father asking for prayer
for his son who struggled with schizophrenia.
Those prayers became a book and now a movie.
THE MOVEMENT
Let's help others share their story and support those who love and serve people who struggle with mental illness.
Let's start a viral movement of care, humanity and hope.
A VIRTUAL ARMY FOR A VIRAL MOVEMENT
According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 5 people suffer from some degree of mental illness.
When family and friends are added to that number, the potential participants in this movement are enormous.
HELP US SHARE THEIR HUMANITY
Let Me Have My Son tells the story of a father, whose search for his son opens his eyes to a world he hadn't expected. He discovers the precious humanity of those who struggle with serious mental illness and hope in the face of despair.
Help others discover that same precious humanity and hope.
ALLIES
We want to partner with groups who promote greater care and dignity for the mentally ill.
And build a network of allies who spread the message of the film through their social media followers.

LET'S GET REAL
We can't fix everything.
Ask anyone who's had a friend or family member who suffers from mental illness.
But we can offer greater care and dignity.
We can see our brothers and sisters who suffer as precious members of the human family who offer us the great gift of helping us become more human.
