Keiko

I am the Founder and CEO for Skye's the Limit Foundation. Skye’s the Limit Foundation was founded in light of the trauma-related overdose of my 19-year-old daughter, 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. 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 bring our vision and mission to life through an integrated approach with the arts and the outdoors, together, which serve as a tool for dialogue and engagement around what matters to the diverse residents of the communities we serve. We intertwine creative explorations in all our activities to encourage self-reflection, healthy communication and choices, safety supports and growth. We work to build a trauma-informed community that supports and empowers those impacted by trauma. I hold certifications as a Trauma and Resilience Life Coach and a Trauma Support Specialist both received from Trauma Institute International.
