Can We Reignite Hope—Neuron by Neuron?

Dear supporter,

Healing Begins with a Thought. Let’s Help People Imagine a Way Out.

For trauma survivors—veterans, cancer survivors, abuse victims—help often feels out of reach. Between cost, stigma, and long waitlists, traditional therapy isn't always an option.

But what if it could be?

At MyWhatIf, we’re developing an AI-powered mental health platform that helps trauma survivors do something revolutionary: imagine a better future.

And science says that matters. According to a landmark study by Schacter, Addis, and Buckner (2007), imagining future scenarios lights up the same neural circuits as recalling memories—particularly in the hippocampus, medial prefrontal cortex, and the Default Mode Network (DMN)Hope Switch - Key Brain…. These regions are central to envisioning new possibilities and recovering agency after trauma.

But here’s the catch: trauma can shut these systems down. People feel stuck—not because they lack hope, but because their brain’s hope circuitry is dimmed.

That’s why MyWhatIf uses emotionally resonant, personalized storytelling to reawaken those very pathways. With each interaction, our AI delivers a guided experience that activates imagination, rewires beliefs, and restores agency.

💡 Hope isn't just a feeling—it’s a function. One that can be scientifically stimulated.

By investing in MyWhatIf, you’re not just supporting a tool. You’re supporting a process proven to engage brain regions essential to healing.

✨ This is mental health innovation grounded in neuroscience—and powered by generosity.
