CHARITY SPOTLIGHT { giving back } ORIGIN: Kid in the Corner is a grassroots organization started by Zachary Sumner’s family and friends after he committed suicide in 2017. During his fight with mental illness, Zach often said he felt alone, like nobody cared. None of the kids at his school, youth groups or extracurricular activities asked where he was after being gone weeks for inpatient treatment. It was as if mental illness made Zach invisible. Zach was a funny, smart, well-liked kid. But he was convinced that he was the “kid in the corner.” This sense of isolation and insignificance fueled his depression and the decision to end his life.
