SKYE’S THE LIMIT FOUNDATION is a 501c3 Public Charity RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR COMPASSION AND CONNECTION TO COMBAT THE SOCIAL ISOLATION THAT CAN LEAD TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND SUICIDE. OUR VISION FOR SKYE’S THE LIMIT! FOUNDATION IS BUILDING A RESILIENT WORLD WHERE WE ALL THRIVE TOGETHER.OUR MISSION is to prevent trauma-related losses by substance overdose and suicide by building resiliency and empowering youth, families, and communities through peer support, art, and wilderness therapy.  We work to build a trauma-informed community that supports and empowers those impacted by trauma.     Skye’s the Limit was founded in light of the trauma-related overdose of 19-year-old Skye Gina Ratcliffe Pilato on September 30, 2014. After two suicide attempts, Skye resorted to drugs to numb the pain she was feeling in isolation. In her honor, Skye’s the Limit now educates the community on trauma, harm reduction, and self-care and works to provide an environment for youth to speak out, express themselves, and ask for help.At Skye’s the Limit Foundation, we know that by increasing understanding of the trauma-informed  approach and training school staff, healthcare workers, police officers, criminal justice system staff, mentors, youth serving organizations, and other adults to employ this effective approach, the negative impacts of childhood trauma can be effectively mitigated and trauma-related loss can be prevented.  We also know that by building peer supports through engaging activities such as the arts and kayaking that we can begin to nurture relational health, the connections needed for thriving and flourishing.  Furthermore, by investing in our youth and community leaders who will pass along these learned, trauma-informed care concepts to their peers, we can work to create sustainable, positive change in our communities for future generations.
