LoveLikeReed was founded in memory of Reed Allen Schonberger, a 15-year-old sophomore at Etowah High School who died by suicide on December 19, 2018.
Reed was known for his kindness, his humor, and his ability to make everyone around him feel seen. In his memory, his family created this organization to make sure no child or family has to face a mental health crisis without access to professional help.
"To help support the mental health of children and families in our community by providing financial assistance for counseling."
We are a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are fully tax-deductible.

"We had no idea how to get our son help. LoveLikeReed connected us with a therapist within a week and covered every session. We don't know where he'd be without them."
"My daughter was struggling after a trauma and we couldn't afford a therapist. LoveLikeReed was so kind and got everything set up for us. I'm grateful every day for this organization."
"As a school counselor I refer families here regularly. LoveLikeReed removes the financial barrier that stops so many kids from getting help. They are a true community asset."
