About the Foundation
The 101 Roses Foundation is a suicide prevention foundation created in loving memory of Anna-Mariya. Our purpose is to honour her memory through compassion, awareness, education, suicide prevention, emotional support, and hope for young people, families, friends, and communities, with a special focus on Ukrainian teens.

Our Suicide Prevention Mission

We aim to raise awareness around suicide prevention, provide educational resources, encourage open conversations, and support young people, parents, friends, and loved ones through moments of emotional difficulty.
The 101st Rose & Suicide Prevention
The 101st rose represents the one life we must never overlook. It is a symbol of remembrance, protection, awareness, and hope.
It reminds us that one conversation, one act of kindness, one moment of support, or one person choosing to listen can make a life-changing difference.
About Our Suicide Prevention Foundation
The 101 Roses Foundation exists to create a compassionate space for information, awareness, and support. At this stage, our website serves primarily as an informational resource, with the hope of expanding support services in the future.
We are committed to growing carefully, responsibly, and with deep respect for the sensitive nature of suicide prevention, mental health support, and grief after loss.
Symbolism – More than Roses
Roses have long represented love, remembrance, beauty, and care. For the 101 Roses Foundation, they also represent hope, awareness, compassion, and the lives touched by kindness.
The number 101 reminds us to look beyond the expected, beyond the obvious, and beyond the surface — toward the one person who may be silently struggling and needs support.
Why Our Suicide Prevention Foundation Exists
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people worldwide lose their lives to suicide. Behind every statistic is a family, a community, and a future that will never be fully realised.
Anna-Mariya’s life ended far too soon. While we cannot change what happened, we can choose how we respond. The 101 Roses Foundation was created so that her memory could inspire awareness, education, compassion, and hope.
We may not change the world, but if our efforts help even one young person seek support, start one important conversation, or spare one family from experiencing the loss of a child to suicide, then meaningful change has occurred.
Through this suicide prevention foundation, we hope to honour Anna-Mariya’s memory by helping others find hope when life feels overwhelming.

Love Remembered. Lives Protected.
