“Today, the FIFA World Cup 2026 begins.

One game, uniting the world across every border and language.

But the real measure of football isn’t who it celebrates — it’s who it refuses to leave behind.

In blind soccer, players can’t see the ball. They find it anyway — by sound, by trust, by instinct. They’ve taught me that to be unseen is never to be without worth.

So today I’m thinking of the overlooked: the unseen, the unheard, the unappreciated. This game has room for them. It has room for every human being on earth — and no one is beyond belonging.”

— Thomas A. Abraham
Chairman, Anthony R. Abraham Foundation
Sport Ambassador for USA Blind Soccer

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, we want to leave you with the most important thing we know:

Healing is possible.

Not easy. Not linear. Not without setbacks or hard days or moments when it feels impossibly far away. But possible. Always possible.

People recover from depression. They rebuild after trauma. They find their way through grief, anxiety, addiction, and crisis—when they have the right support, the right community, and the belief that their life is worth fighting for.

At the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, that belief is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in the dignity of every human being. We believe in the power of community to heal. And we believe that a world where everyone has access to mental health support is not a dream—it is a goal worth working toward every single day.

Thank you for walking through this month with us.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. Help is available. You are not alone.

The U.S. Surgeon General called it an epidemic. And the data backs it up.

More than half of American adults report measurable levels of loneliness. Chronic loneliness is as harmful to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. And it is getting worse—not better.

We are more connected digitally than at any point in human history. And yet so many people feel profoundly, painfully alone.

At the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, we believe that community is not a luxury. It is a lifeline. Every initiative we support—from inclusive sports programs to education investments to humanitarian partnerships—is, at its core, about connection. About belonging. About making sure that no one feels like they do not matter.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, reach out to someone who might be lonely. It costs nothing. And it might mean everything.

The connection between physical movement and mental well-being is one of the most well-documented findings in modern science.

A walk. A run. A swim. A soccer ball rolling across a field.

These are not escapes from the challenges of mental health—they are tools for meeting them. Exercise reduces cortisol, increases serotonin, builds resilience, and—perhaps most importantly—gets us out of our own heads and into the present moment.

At the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, we have long believed in the healing power of sport and movement—for athletes of every ability. Whether it is a blind soccer player finding freedom on a pitch, or a marathoner running for a cause larger than themselves, movement is medicine.

This May, step outside. Move your body. And notice what changes.

On this Memorial Day, we pause. We pause to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country—whose sacrifice made possible every freedom we hold, every opportunity we pursue, every community we build.

At the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, service is our North Star. We are inspired daily by those who have given their most—not for recognition, not for reward—but because they believed in something greater than themselves. Today, we remember them. We thank their families. And we recommit ourselves to honoring their legacy through a life of purpose, compassion, and service to others.

Freedom is not free. May we never forget the price that was paid.

We talk a lot about mental health awareness. But awareness without access is not enough.

The reality is this: in the United States, where you live, what you earn, and what you look like still determines whether you can access mental health care. Rural communities face provider shortages. Low-income families face cost barriers. Communities of color face both—compounded by generations of distrust in a system that has too often failed them.

Mental health equity is not a radical idea. It is a basic standard of a just society.

At the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, we believe that our mission—to love, honor, respect, and empower the lives of the suffering, hopeless, and forgotten—applies here too. The mental health crisis is not colorblind. It is not classless. And the solutions cannot be either.

This month, we stand for access. For equity. For a system that meets every person where they are.
