Why We Exist

Our Mission

Martha's Legacy strives to ease access to mental health services for individuals in need by removing financial barriers and raising awareness around disabilities and mental health.

Remove Financial Barriers

We provide direct financial assistance to individuals and families who need therapy and behavioral health treatment but can't afford it.

Ease Access to Care

We simplify the process of getting mental health support, connecting people with qualified therapists and behavioral health professionals.

Raise Awareness

We advocate for mental health awareness and work to reduce stigma around disabilities and mental health challenges. We need to do better as a country.

Our Services

What We Do

Every service we provide is available free of charge to qualifying individuals and families who cannot afford mental health care. This is only possible because of the generosity of our donors.

Free Therapy Funding

Covered at No Cost

We directly cover the cost of therapy sessions for individuals and families who qualify — meaning recipients pay nothing out of pocket. Your donations make these sessions possible.

Provider Connections

Free Referrals

We connect qualifying individuals with therapists, coaches, and behavioral health professionals in our network — at significantly reduced or zero cost to the recipient.

Crisis Support Pathways

Immediate Access

When someone is in crisis and can't wait, we help cut through the red tape. We work to ensure individuals in acute mental health crises can access intervention without financial barriers standing in the way.

Family & Behavioral Health Navigation

Guided Support

Navigating the mental health system is overwhelming. We guide families through the process — from identifying the right care to coordinating financial assistance — so no one has to do it alone.

Powered by Donors Like You

None of this happens without your support.

Martha's Legacy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Every dollar donated goes directly toward providing these free services to people in Lufkin and Houston, Texas who have nowhere else to turn.
