Blue Bee Project

 

A community rooted in hope, created in memory of our son, Nathan Montez Jr., to remind others they are not alone.

We exist to spread hope in a world where so many suffer in silence.

Our hearts are especially with young people. We see you. If you’re struggling, we want you to know you are loved, and you are in our prayers.

At the Blue Bee Project, we are working toward a world where no one feels unseen or unsupported. We believe hope takes root when people show up for one another — by listening, checking in, and choosing kindness in everyday moments. These small acts can make a lasting difference.


We made a promise: to honor our son’s life by helping others find hope.

This is why the Blue Bee Project exists: to honor Nathan’s life by sharing his story with honesty and love, in the hope that it helps someone feel seen, understood, and less alone.
