About
Kyleigh Kohut
Hi, My name is Kyleigh and I’m a senior at Osceola High School. When I’m not in school I like to go out and do things with my friends, and when it’s nice out I like to go out on hikes with my family and dogs. I also like to help people because sometimes I understand what they are going through from my experience. I chose to do Why Wait because I wanted to make a difference in the Mental Health community and I wanted to learn more about these issues. I want to help people who don't have resources and who are suffering from issues like depression and anxiety. I hope to help them learn more about why they are and give them baskets that will have some objects, a card with breathing exercises, and coping mechanisms to hopefully help. My overall vision for this project is to help people who don’t have the resources to understand why they feel the way they do or why they have had depression and/or anxiety. I want to give those people baskets that will have breathing exercises and places where they can find free therapy around them or online, lotion, fidgets, lavender scent aroma rocks, and mental health stickers.
