I'm raising money for The Suicide Prevention Lifeline, an essential support tool for those struggling with depression and thoughts of self-harm. The organization responsible for this lifeline is Vibrant Emotional Health (or Mental Health Association of NYC), and the quality of the lifeline is largely upheld by volunteers who dedicate their time to such vital work.

As someone who struggles with depression and used the lifeline before, I am incredibly lucky that I was able to talk to someone who eased me out of my destructive thoughts at the time, and this hotline potentially saved my life that day. However, I witness so many peers who struggle with mental health continue the battle on their own. Unfortunately, there are many who have lost faith in the benefit of using this hotline due to past calls that were not picked up and encounters with volunteers who were burned out. I hope that by fundraising for this nonprofit, we can support their hardworking volunteers and sustain high-quality worker training and service delivery. Please raise awareness for this fundraiser in any way that you can!

Social media like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook, etc reposts are all helpful!

Thank you all and please remember that you are worthy and loved❤️
