Friends,

We never set out to start a foundation. We are just a family nearly undone by addiction and mental health loss and despair, who somehow found our way back — who found better than before.

Now we want that healing for others.

That’s why we started the Magee Foundation. Our mission is simple: break stigma, tell the truth about addiction and mental health, and point people toward hope and help. We use storytelling, education, and community engagement to open eyes, connect people to resources, and spark change. From students on campuses to parents at home, from churches to neighborhoods across the country, we are working so that no family has to feel as lost as we once did.

Our work is deeply personal.

It’s not abstract policy—it’s lived experience. We know what it feels like to lose, and we know the miracle of finding life again.

Together, we can turn brokenness into healing, silence into conversation, and despair into second chances.

Blessings,

David Magee
