Hope comes from connection.
At the Inspire USA Foundation, we have seen this in the power of peer support and in the strength of our community of youth and mental health advocates - in supporters like YOU.
By making a financial contribution and raising your voice for the growing number of teens and young adults across the country who struggle with feelings of hopelessness and thoughts of suicide, you play a crucial role in helping to provide youth with the tools they need to build resilience and withstand tough times.
Your gift can change a life, and these are the reasons why:
When you give to ReachOut.com, your gift provides the tools to change lives. Throughout the month, we will be posting the hands and messages of youth who have experienced the power of peer support and have been propelled by that hope and resilience to share their story in our ReachOut High Five for Hope Fundraiser.
Right now, for #GivingTuesday, donations of $35, $50, $75 and more will make an even bigger difference to the growing number of teens and young adults across the country who face mental health struggles.
See the real impact your generosity can make:
$35 Give $35 = Give Safety
Your gift could provide 1 hour of moderated discussion time for youth forum members in need of support.
$50 Give $50 = Give Access
Your donation could allow for 235 additional young people each month to find the resources and peer support at ReachOut.com from Google searches around hopelessness (e.g. life sucks).
$75 Give $75 = Give Hope
Your dollars could support the vetting, editing and posting of a powerful youth written story, letting over 700 youth per month who search for stories know that they are not alone in their struggle.
$125 Give $125 = Give Resilience
By your donation, one additional fact sheet could be produced for ReachOut’s 100,000+ visitors per month to provide tips on coping with issues such as bullying or self-harm.
$200 Give $200 = Give Connection
Your generosity could contribute towards the training of one additional peer supporter to provide empathy and encouragement to our over 15,000 forum members and outreach advocating wellness to countless others.
Help us bring hope through connection. Please consider donating again or letting your friends and family know about ReachOut.com.
Warmly,
Michael Pelfini, Ed. D.
CEO, Inspire USA Foundation
