If I was given 1 million dollars to donate to any charity of my choice, it would have to be to the To Write Love On Her Arms foundation. To Write Love on Her Arms is a "non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery." They make it very clear that rescue is possible. I've been following this charity group since I was in 7th grade.
This foundation is so remarkable, and incredible, and supports something I truly believe in with all my heart. People should NEVER have to struggle with self-injury, addiction, depression or any of that in silence. No one should ever have to feel alone in this world due to what they're going through. You need to know that rescue is possible, that freedom is possible, that God is still in the business of redemption. We're seeing it happen. We're seeing lives change as people get the help they need. People sitting across from a counselor for the first time. People stepping into treatment. In desperate moments, people calling a suicide hotline. We know that the first step to recovery is the hardest to take. We want to say here that it's worth it, that your life is worth fighting for, that it's possible to change. Every single one of us is loved, and everyone needs to know that.
