Join Us in Raising Awareness
BlueBeeProject was created in honor of our 15-year-old son, Nathan Lee Montez Jr., whom we lost to suicide on January 26, 2024. The name was inspired by Nathan’s curiosity and love for bees, along with his favorite color. Our logo, a blue bee shaped like a semicolon, is a powerful symbol in mental health—the semicolon represents the choice to continue one’s story despite challenges.
Through the BlueBeeProject, we are dedicated to raising awareness about youth suicide, fostering open conversations, and providing support to those in need. By honoring Nathan’s memory, we hope to bring light, hope, and resources to others.
Thank you for your support and for standing with us in this vital cause.
