HELP SAVE A LIFE!
32,000 - the number of suicides that occurred in the USA alone in 2005.
89 - the number of suicides per day that occurred in 2005.
11.05 - the number of suicides per 100,000 population.
1 - the number of suicides every sixteen minutes.
630+ - the number of people who follow this blog who may be able to lend a helping hand.
I have been depressed. I have never felt suicidal. But somebody very, very close to me did - my sister. She made it through, thank goodness - but what if she hadn’t? I would be one sister short and that is a terrible thought. This year, my sister and over two thousand other people are participating in the 2012 Overnight Walk. Many of the people participating have dealt with suicide, depression or have lost people to them. If you have even a few pennies to spare, it will make a difference. You could be responsible for saving somebody’s life.
HOW DO I HELP?
(1) DONATE! CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO THE CAUSE. Every single bit of money helps. Raising money will help to fund more events which will, in turn, raise awareness and let people who are struggling know that they are not alone.
(2) SPREAD THE WORD! If you yourself are unable to donate money for whatever reason, maybe you know somebody who can! Spread the word and raise awareness!
WHAT DO I GET OUT OF THIS?
The knowledge that somewhere, you just might have saved a life. Besides, do a good thing and you will be rewarded later. I guarantee it.
If you’ve read this - thank you! I really appreciate it! We’ll return to our regular TWEWY-related posts ASAP!
