Supporting Survivors of Traumatic Physical Injuries.

My Scars Are Beautiful® is a Nevada 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting survivors of traumatic physical injuries and the emotional scars that often follow. These experiences include burns, accidents, surgeries, violence, amputation or other life-altering injuries that impact both physical and emotional well-being. We provide compassionate support and healing resources through programs and services such as peer support groups, art therapy workshops, community social outings, and financial assistance for low-income survivors covering reconstructive surgery cost. Our goal is to create spaces where survivors feel seen, supported, and empowered throughout their healing journey. Since 2016, our mission has been to offer support with compassion, understanding, acceptance, and love while honoring the strength, resilience, and beauty found in scars both inside and out.

Fashion for a Cause

January 18. 2026

A fashion show that allows attempted suicide survivors to walk or represent a lost loved one. These events highlight local fashion designers and bring awareness to the community about suicide and how it affects families, friends and the victims. Knowing simply pausing for one moment to listen or pick up a late-night phone call can be the difference between life or death.

Suicide or attempts are NOT the cowards way out; they are cries for help that went unnoticed leaving victims feeling unloved or cared for. Loneliness and fear consuming feelings of failure they cannot cope with alone anymore. It’s the thought they and the world around them are better off without them that convince them to try and end it all.

One person can make a difference.

My story:

I did not call anyone when I decided to travel that path in September 2006. I just walked into the bathroom, grabbed the pills and started swallowing. Then I went to my journal and wrote “Lord heal me or kill me; I can’t live like this anymore.” After 100 pills and 3 days, He woke me up and got me the healing I needed.

A supervisor at work made it clear I was not to be talked to or welcomed back to work (jobs were threatened if known to reach out to me.) One woman went against the stream and would call me after work hours to check in on me. She motivated me to return to work because the students needed me. Her encouragement helped me walk into an office that went silent upon my presence. Her love gave me strength to defy the attacks of hate from a supervisor that wanted nothing more than to see me fail. One woman loved me enough to help bring me back to life by finding my fight to live.

Are you willing to be that ONE for someone else?
