Welcome to Our PHENOMENON—engineered to BE a phenomenon. 😉

$30,000. That’s just $10 from 3,000 people. Reaching this goal will catapult us into the next era of human care: a Free Global Non-Medical Mental Health Care Program. Scalable, adaptable, and designed to work across all cultures and diversities, this is a revolutionary step forward for mental health.

In partnership with Global Peace Media, The Humble Lowly Company proudly presents "Legacies of Men" and r/GuyCry, a leader in free non-medical men's mental healthcare and quality of life improvement services.

Update 1:

We are #6. Look at us; fresh, young, ALIVE, r/GuyCry. This is how you "men's mental health."

First, who is this guy and where did he come from?

"Out of no where. POOF! Here I am as a force of good" -Joe

Hi there, I’m Joe! :) I'm a "Top 100 Innovator of 2024" My full name is Joseph Truax. I’m a gifted individual with some invisible medical conditions (Autism, ADHD, BPD, Dysthymia,...). I'm 41 and have been on my own since I was 14 (palindrome :) ). I’ve worked incredibly hard to overcome extreme adversity, and here we are—together on this journey to make a difference.

I’m here for all of us, working toward a better quality of life for everyone. The people who are supposed to help us sometimes fall short, so we’ve got to step up and help ourselves—but peacefully. And I’ve built something special to do just that.

Next, here’s what I’ve built:

Watch this video here (Yes, it’s the same video some of you may have seen before! I just want to make sure everyone knows what we’re working on.)

Did you happen to notice this?

After watching that video did you happen to look at our subreddit in depth. Did you see this part?

Or how about this?

Our subreddit’s unprecedented growth proves that this work resonates deeply. It’s a testament to the critical need we’re addressing in solving the loneliness pandemic and mental health crisis.

What this means:

We just made history. Probably the smallest subreddit ever to reach the top seven. Further proof that we have something special. That's what that means. We are solving the loneliness pandemic and mental health crisis. We’re striving for a world where suicide is preventable, loneliness is eliminated, and lives are saved—a mission worthy of global recognition.

Our Position:

We’re in a unique spot. We’re fiscally sponsored, but we urgently need funding to get our life-saving curriculum professionally evaluated. Here’s how you can help:

Why “Legacies of Men LLC”?

Global Peace Media and I mutually agreed on creating this as an LLC rather than other structures. Rest assured, we’re still fully operating as a nonprofit—just with the structure that works best for our mission.

What exactly are you funding and why is it $30,000? Check it:

We’ve carefully calculated that $30,000 will allow us to conduct a professional and effective evaluation of our life-saving men’s mental health program. This amount ensures we can complete a thorough pilot program while accounting for contingencies. Here’s how we’ll allocate the funds:

Budget Breakdown

Evaluation Team: $15,000

Salaries or consulting fees for a team of mental health experts, program evaluators, and data analysts who will design metrics, collect data, and analyze the results.

Participant Recruitment: $2,500

Costs for running and distributing a survey to recruit a highly diverse group of 25 men from various backgrounds and experiences. This ensures representation and maximizes the reliability of our data.

Program Operations: $2,500

Venue rentals for in-person group meetings and administrative costs (e.g., printing materials, supplies for participants, and refreshments).

Technology and Tools: $2,000

Tools and software to create, distribute, and analyze pre- and post-program surveys, as well as manage other data collection processes.

Participant Incentives: $1,000

Modest incentives like gift cards or travel reimbursements to encourage participation and make the program accessible.

Report Development: $1,000

Professional formatting and design of the final evaluation report to ensure it’s polished and ready for presentation to stakeholders.

Contingency Fund: $6,000

Reserved for unexpected costs, such as additional team hours, unforeseen logistical challenges, or any participant needs that arise during the program.

What Will This Evaluation Achieve?

This pilot program, lasting 6 to 12 weeks, will be professionally evaluated to measure both qualitative and quantitative outcomes. By working with our evaluation team and leveraging our detailed document of measurable outcomes, we’ll gather robust data on how this program impacts men’s mental health. Specifically, we will:

Assess Quantitative Metrics:

Use standardized tools like PHQ-9 (for depression) and GAD-7 (for anxiety) to measure mental health improvements.

Track attendance, retention, and progress for all participants.

Capture Qualitative Feedback:

Conduct weekly participant surveys and end-of-program interviews to document changes in emotional resilience, relationship satisfaction, and reduced loneliness.

Validate Our Curriculum:

Test the curriculum’s effectiveness in helping men unburden themselves and grow emotionally in a supportive group environment.

Ensure it’s scalable and ready for broader implementation.

Produce a Comprehensive Report:

A detailed report will summarize our findings, highlight measurable impacts, and provide recommendations for expanding the program to reach more men.

Why It’s Urgent

The faster we can secure this funding, the sooner we can validate our program’s effectiveness and expand it to help more men. This is not just an investment in 25 lives—it’s an investment in a movement to change men’s mental health on a larger scale.

Your support makes this possible. Thank you for believing in us.

FOUNDER NOTE

The work we've been doing behind the scenes for the past 2 years has led us to this point. This avenue has almost been fulfilled. I have 15 other irons in the fire that I've been developing for the last 17 years. When this one succeeds as it's about to, all my other irons get finished. You know it takes on average 15 years to see overnight success? I'm 2 years over average, but what we've built is anything but average.

Think of me as someone who values creating meaningful change over personal wealth. Every dollar we raise will be used to save lives and build a better future. I care about using all the money that we gain from this for all the right reasons. To follow the lead of this man, Sam Altman;

This is all I need as well :) That's comfortable right? I can do all my work on that amount per year. My life's work.

Help me get where I got to go and I'll bring as many people as I can with me. This pilot program is where it all starts. We have to get it funded. I'm here for the right reasons. Look at all the actual evidence and see that I can be trusted.

This is a life and death situation. Every moment we wait, more men—and women—take their own lives.

96% of people believe that suicide is preventable. Let’s prove them right.

Together, we can save lives. Donate today to make this possible.
