7's Hero: Kylee Wiscombe leads Gr8ter's mission for mental health recovery in Idaho

KTVB did an article on Kylee, our founder, and here is just an excerpt of what they to say about the amazing work Kylee and Gr8ter has done. 

Have you heard of Gr8ter? It is an Idaho nonprofit that focuses on mental health recovery. What makes it so special is that it was founded by a local woman who faced her own mental health crisis. Kylee Wiscombe is passionate about spreading the word that living your best life again is possible.  

“Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with a major mental health struggle, and through that I realized that I didn’t want other people to feel the way I was feeling,” Wiscombe said. “The shame and the stigma and the pain was so intense, and I had an idea. What if I started a nonprofit to help people?” 

That is how Gr8ter was born. 

“We are here to encourage people that they are not alone; if they just step forward, they can have the life they desire. Three things really helped me, movement, connection and purpose,” Wiscombe said. 

It all started with the Gr8ter Socks Project. Gr8ter provides sock kits to people in hospitals, schools, mental health care providers, homeless shelters, substance abuse programs and more. Wiscombe says the idea is to empower others to step forward and live the happy life they deserve.
