Who We Are

In January of 2023, William Duval passed away from suicide after struggling with anxiety and PANS.  Will was the kindest person you ever met. He liked and respected everyone regardless of their skin, gender or circumstances.  He could light up a room with his wit and sense of humor. Will had always been a big advocate for others’ mental health, but never for his own.

His family knew they wanted to carry on his legacy by helping other kids like Will and erasing the stigma around mental health and suicide. And thus Where There’s A Will was born.

Will treated every person he met with the utmost kindness and acceptance. He lived everyday with the mindset that we will never know the struggles someone else is facing but your kindness could save a life someday. At Where There’s A Will we believe that everyone should

Be Kind To All Kinds
