About Us

Born from Struggle. Built on Hope. Here to Help.

I grew up in pain, surrounded by struggle, but I always held onto one thing: hope — the tiniest spark that maybe, just maybe, things could get better. I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, unseen, and barely hanging on. And I also know the power of someone showing up when you least expect it.

That’s why I created the Happiness Matters Foundation — to be that someone for others.

We erase medical debt for individuals and families who’ve had enough hardship. No shame. No strings. Just real relief, because happiness matters — and it begins when the weight of financial stress is finally lifted.

Right now, we’re proudly focused on helping families here in Colorado, but our vision is bigger. As we grow, we plan to expand across the U.S., bringing relief and hope to even more people who need it most.

Every $1 donated can forgive $100 in medical debt, unlocking peace of mind, restoring dignity, and making space for healing — not just financially, but emotionally, spiritually, and deeply human.

This isn’t about handouts. It’s about second chances.
Because hope isn’t a luxury — it’s a right.
And together, we’re here to spread it.

Where Debt Ends, Hope Begins!

🌟 Vision

Our dream is a future where education and healing empower people to thrive, and freedom lights the way for generations. Lasting happiness begins when burdens are lifted, knowledge is shared, and joy becomes a legacy.

🌟 Mission

At the Happiness Matters Foundation, we create lasting change by combining freedom-focused education, healing, and compassionate support with powerful debt relief. Our programs restore confidence, knowledge, and hope — because happiness matters, freedom matters, and everyone deserves both.

🌟 Core Values

We believe in...

🔹 Hope in Action
We don’t wait for change — we create it. One spark of hope can light the way to a whole new life.

🔹 Compassion Over Judgment
No shame, no blame, no strings attached. We meet people where they are — with dignity and kindness.


🔹 Freedom is Relief
We believe real freedom begins when burdens are lifted. Canceling debt isn’t just financial — it’s emotional, mental, and life-changing.


🔹 Empowerment Through Education
We believe knowledge heals. Tools for learning, mindset, and growth are the foundation for lasting transformation.


🔹 Transparency & Trust
We’re open books — always honest, always accountable. Every dollar and every decision reflects our integrity.


🔹 Equity & Inclusion
We champion those most overlooked — single parents, seniors, people with disabilities — and ensure no one is left behind.


🔹 Joy as a Birthright
We celebrate often, laugh loudly, and believe happiness isn’t optional — it’s essential.


🔹 A Win for One Must Be a Win for All
We don’t believe in band-aids or quick fixes. If everyone doesn’t win — we’re not doing it. Period.
