Francesco’s Foundation is a 501c(3) registered charity created to help prevent teenage suicide through providing financial support for education in schools, where the focus will be on prevention of all types of bullying including and in particular that of the LGBTQ+ community, education about the risks of teenagers engaging in dangerous activities on-line, education about the risks of leaving fire-arms unsecured with teenagers in the house – all of which contribute to heightening risks of teenage suicide.

Francesco’s Foundation has been set up by Francesco’s mother, Diana Cochran and her partner, Jennifer Allsop to honor the memory of Francesco and to help reduce the terrible risk of teenage suicide by providing financial help for charities investing in the education of teenage mental health to protect the mental health of teenagers and help prevent more unnecessary teenage suicides. Educational partners include the Yes Institute represented by Joseph Zolobczuk, a non-profit with 27 years of experience working with schools and communities helping to prevent bullying of all kinds. We are creating a program together in Francesco’s name.
