First, thank you so much to everyone who has signed and shared this petition so far. Your support means more than words can express. We have reached 117 verified signatures, and we’re just a few steps away from our next milestone of 125! Every single signature brings us closer to justice for Natalie and to ensuring no other family experiences what ours did.

This petition isn’t just a number—it’s a promise to Natalie’s memory and a call for change in how psychiatric patients are treated, discharged, and protected. Natalie was a bright, creative soul who deserved compassion and care. Her story is a heartbreaking reminder that more must be done to ensure psychiatric patients receive the treatment and safety they need.

What’s Next?

Our next goal is to reach 125 signatures. After that, we’ll keep pushing forward to 250 and beyond. Petitions with over 1,000 supporters are 5 times more likely to win, so let’s keep this momentum going!

If you haven’t already, please consider sharing this petition on social media, with your friends and family, and with anyone who cares about mental health and patient safety.

Together, we can honor Natalie’s life and help create real change.

With gratitude and determination,
Leah Kottmyer
