Hey!

My name is Zayden Rashid and I am a student at St. Andrew's College in Grade 9. I am a Gold Scholar and the recipient of the St. Andrew's College Community Scholarship. I got the idea for this non-profit after seeing a Washington Post article about Stephan Goodwin, a 33-year-old who spent the last moments of his life in Phoenix. Goodwin had schizophrenia, an illness that is often characterized by  hallucinations and paranoia. One study of heat wave deaths in British Columbia found that 8 percent of the people who had died in the heat had been diagnosed with mental illness. Now Weather Warriors is here to support the mentally challenged from harsh weather.
