World Humanitarian Day

World Humanitarian Day: Why Humanity Still Matters On World Humanitarian Day , we are reminded that true humanity goes beyond words it is shown in actions of kindness, service, and compassion. At The Jathaniel Foundation , this day is not just symbolic. It is a reflection of what we believe in: healing through giving, empowerment through community, and love that sees no boundaries. Humanitarian work doesn’t always require grand gestures. Sometimes it is as simple as offering a safe space for someone in pain, donating a pack of sanitary pads , or choosing to volunteer your time . Every effort, no matter how small, creates a ripple effect of healing. At The Jathaniel Foundation, our mission is rooted in this truth: survivors, dreamers, and changemakers all belong to the same family. We stand for empowerment, healing, and sustainable support for communities often forgotten. This Humanitarian Day, we invite you to join us whether by volunteering, donating, or simply sharing our message. T...

The Jathaniel Foundation

 The Jathaniel Foundation A New Chapter of Healing, Hope, and Purpose The Jathaniel Foundation was birthed from pain but it is rising in power. This isn’t just another charity. This is a movement of healing, a home for the broken, and a second chance for the silenced. We are here for the survivors, the dreamers, the grieving mothers, the voiceless children, the youth aching for direction, and the fathers forgotten by the world. Every soul matters. Every tear is seen. Every life is worth fighting for. Why “Jathaniel”? The name Jathaniel means “Gift of God.” This foundation is deeply personal named in honor of my beloved son, a boy who changed my life and inspired my calling. The vision was born from my own storms, and it exists so no one else has to walk through theirs alone. This foundation carries the fire of my journey as a survivor, a mother, a coach, and a woman determined to turn pain into purpose. We are planting seeds of transformation where others have only seen loss. What ...

Healing Is Cute Until

Healing Is Cute Until.... Healing looks so poetic on social media  Candles. Journals. Affirmations. Aesthetic quotes about boundaries and self-love. It’s giving “main character energy.” It’s giving “soft girl era.” It’s giving… a lie. Because healing real healing  is not just cute. It’s messy. It’s uncomfortable. It’s crying over things you used to laugh off. It’s saying “no” for the first time and watching people flinch. It’s realizing that half your personality was just survival mode dressed up as charm. It’s lonely sometimes. You lose people. You lose patterns. You lose the version of yourself that kept everyone comfortable. But you gain peace. You gain clarity. You gain the ability to sit with yourself and not feel like you’re disappearing. Healing isn’t a glow-up. It’s a breakdown and rebuild. It’s not always pretty, but it’s always worth it. So if you’re in the thick of it If you’re crying, doubting, isolating, boundary-setting, overthinking, and g...

When Family Isn’t a Safe Place

  When Family Isn’t a Safe Place: Healing from the Wounds We Don’t Talk About We grow up believing that family is supposed to be our safe haven  the place we run to when the world gets too loud. But for many, family is where the noise begins. The deepest wounds aren’t always caused by strangers. Sometimes, they come from the people who raised us. Fractured families are more common than we admit. Whether it’s emotional neglect, manipulation, abuse, or simply a lack of understanding, these dynamics can leave lasting scars. And yet, society often tells us to “forgive and forget,” to “honor your parents,” or to “keep the peace.” But what if peace means silence? What if honoring yourself means walking away? Setting boundaries with family is one of the hardest things a person can do and one of the most courageous. It’s not betrayal. It’s survival. Healing may require distance, and that doesn’t make you cruel. It makes you conscious. You’re allowed to grieve the family you wish you ...

The Hidden Depression Of Scrolling

 The Hidden Depression of Scrolling: How Social Media Quietly Consumes Us We scroll to escape. We scroll to connect. We scroll to feel something anything. But what happens when the very thing we turn to for comfort begins to erode our sense of self? Welcome to the hidden depression of scrolling. 📱 The Illusion of Connection Social media was designed to bring us closer. And in many ways, it has. We can message friends across the globe, share life updates instantly, and discover communities we never knew existed. But beneath the surface, something darker brews. The paradox: We’re more “connected” than ever, yet loneliness is at an all-time high. We see hundreds of faces a day, yet feel unseen ourselves. 🧠 The Mental Toll of Comparison Every scroll is a silent comparison. - Their vacation vs. your workday - Their relationship vs. your solitude - Their success vs. your struggle Even when we know it’s curated, filtered, and staged it still stings. It chips away at our self-worth, on...

When Death Leaves Us Alive

 When Death Leaves Us Alive This is for you… For the one who has ever sat in silence, knowing someone is never coming back. For the one who scrolls through old messages or hears a song that makes your chest tighten. This is for everyone carrying grief not on their sleeve, but inside their bones. The memory that never fades I was just a little girl, around seven. It was the year 2000. I had fallen while playing outside, and my knee was bleeding. I ran home crying  and both my parents were sitting there. That’s when my dad looked at me with calm eyes and said something I’ve never forgotten. >"Dont focus on the pain too much" Then he handed me salt. Yes, salt. To put on my wound. It stung like fire. But I got back up. And I went back to play. From that moment, I understood something. Pain doesn’t always go away when you focus too much on it. Sometimes, it’s about treating the wound even when it burns  and choosing to keep going. That’s what he taught me. My father, the ma...
