The story started with a father asking for prayer
for a son struggling with schizophrenia.
Those prayers became a book and now a movie.
THE MOVEMENT
Let's start a viral movement of prayer, affirmation and hope for those who struggle with serious mental illness.
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 AFFIRM 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 finds 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 following.

We can't fix everything...
Ask anyone who's had a friend or family member suffering from mental illness...
But we can offer greater care and dignity.
Every human being is worthy of love.
