Education
Clear, human conversations about mental illness and the people behind the diagnoses.
Our beginning
Born from love. Built for a community.
Carrying Cree Foundation carries one young man’s story forward through honest conversation, compassionate support and advocacy.
Cree’s life was bigger than any diagnosis.
Cree was a beloved son, brother and friend. He was a traveler, a dancer, family-oriented, and known as the funniest Bingham. He also lived with serious mental illness, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
After losing Cree at 23, his mother established Carrying Cree Foundation to educate others, advocate for families, create safer conversations about mental health and help grieving people feel less alone.
“He couldn’t save himself. I pray his story saves others.”
What we carry forward
Advocacy
A stronger voice for individuals and families navigating systems that can be difficult to understand.
Hope
Support for grief, healing and the difficult work of moving forward without leaving love behind.
