special announcement
Id just like to take a minute to talk about TWLOHA. For those who dont know, TWLOHA stands for To Write Love On Her Arms, which is a non-profit organization finding help for those who are depressed and suffering.
Whilst I have never been diagnosed with depression myself, i have been surrounded by those who have. It is so hard having to watch your friends suffer and not be able to help them. You want to reach out but you dont know how. Not only does TWLOHA help those in suffering, it tells us, the friends, ways we can reach out. Its a great feeling when you turn a friend to TWLOHA and know that its going to help them when you cant.
I get as involved as i can, but as the organization is based in the US, theres only so much i can do. If there is anyone in perth that would be interested in helping out go to www.twloha.com and join the street team and also let me know, I would love to start something in perth.
The first time I read Renee's story i was so touched. its such a familiar story to me because a few of my friends have gone through the same thing. I just think its amazing that her friends were able to create such a huge organization from that situation and not only find the help for Renee but millions of people around the world.
So i think that everyone who cares should get involved. Its an amazing cause and so worth your time.
Whilst we live in perth, there is still things you can do to get involved so go to the site and go check out the street team.
thanks for your time,
d.
