Please support online peer-to-peer crisis counseling.
It would mean a lot to me, all y'all who are on Facebook, or know folks who are on Facebook, if you would go to this link:
Vote For Hope
And vote for the Kristin Brooks Hope Center. With enough votes, they will win $250,000 to create, staff, and run the first online peer-to-peer crisis/suicide counseling network. It costs you nothing, and takes only a few clicks.
These are the wonderful people who established the completely confidential 1-800-SUICIDE crisis counseling hotline, as well as the also-completely-confidential 1-877-VET2VET, a crisis/suicide helpline for active and retired military personnel.
These are the people associated with PostSecret.com, itself an amazing website.
They have saved lives. They do good work, important work. Work very fucking few people want to do.
A while back I had cause to look, and could not find any online crisis counseling that did not require me to use a telephone. Since a phone call is too stressful for me when I am already really fucked up, I had hoped to find something like this, and nothing was there. Now I am here asking you to help create something like that, so that someone in worse shape than I was in has the chance to get help in a way that feels safe to them.
If it helps you to personalize it, think of it this way: Naamah may need this service someday, when she is Not Doing So Well. It would be really swell if it were there.
If anyone can do this, they can, and if anyone can make that happen, it's youall. It's just a few clicks. Go for it.
VOTING ENDS TOMORROW, JULY 12.
Please post this link to your Facebook thingy, or Tweet it, or whatever it is you whippersnappers do these days. But spread the link:
