Creating Spaces for Mental and Physical Health in Schools and Communities. In honor of our son, Mateen Lomax.
Illumateen Unity is a public charity, 501(3c) tax-exempt organization.
We work with therapists, educators, and school counselors to create wellness classes, and wellness rooms to enhance the well-being of students in their schools.
We felt if our son would have had these tools while in school his chances of surviving his mental health issues would have been much greater.
Supplies, Supplies, Supplies
Often, schools lack hands-on tools that are used in real-time to relieve anxiety, panic attacks, and highly intense moments. We train teachers and/or Counselors to utilize these tools and help train students to enhance self-regulation.
Our Son, Mateen Lomax
Man, We miss that smile! Mateen was an intellectual. He had a desire to change the world, and bring greater equality through education in law. While in college during his freshman year, he passed away from suicide and our world has felt broken every since. This non-profit is in his honor.
A Family Affair
As a family, we have worked together to make the desire of our hearts a reality. We hope to make an impact on others to help prevent more suicides in the future.
“We talk about pandemics a lot--THIS is a pandemic that is afflicting our society in alarming numbers. I am trying, in my own small way, to help. The more people who join me, the better. Thank you to everyone who donated!”

Make a donation.
The majority of the success of this foundation is based upon the generosity of people like you! (Did I just give you a PBS commercial?) Not only can you donate tax-deductible resources, you can also donate your time. We are always looking for impact-makers that want to create positive changes in the community in which they live. The money you donate goes directly to supplies and training. We are passionate about cutting out the red tape that makes it difficult for resources to find the people who need them. Please donate what you can.
