One young person shared with us,
🌟 “FLYY has helped me in many ways. They helped me through my hardest times.”

At FLYY, this is the heart of our work.

Youth and young adults come to us while navigating anxiety, trauma, identity questions, school pressures, relationship challenges, and other overwhelming life experiences. Many are deeply connected to their families, who are working hard to support them. FLYY exists to complement those supports, offering an additional space where young people can process, build skills, and feel understood during complex seasons of life.

Through consistent relationships, trauma-informed skill building, and community-based mental health support, young people begin to experience something many are searching for: regulation, connection, and hope.

That transformation doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens because people like you choose to show up for young people and their families.

While much of FLYY’s work is funded through Medicaid, rates have remained stagnant for years and recent cuts now threaten the sustainability of critical mental health services across our community. The next few weeks will directly determine how many young people we can continue to serve without interruption in early 2026. That means your private support is more essential than ever.

Philanthropic dollars allow us to:

Sustain high-quality programming despite funding gaps
Respond flexibly when youth need immediate support
Continue serving families without reducing care

Your generosity creates:

Skilled professionals at their side
A supportive space to decompress and be understood
Skills to manage emotions, relationships, and stress
Hope and confidence for the road ahead

As we close out 2025, your year-end gift directly fuels these life-changing moments and ensures more young people enter 2026 with support, connection, and resilience, alongside the families who care for them every day.

Your gift doesn’t just fund programs, it changes how a young person experiences their hardest moments.

🔁 The Bigger Picture

At FLYY, we believe:

Healing happens in relationship
Youth thrive when they feel safe and supported
Every young person deserves a place where they belong

This year, because of donors like you, youth found regulation, confidence, safety, and connection, often during their hardest moments. At a time when public funding is increasingly uncertain, your gift helps ensure that this work continues without interruption.
