To Write Love On Her Arms

Mom is always doing posts about causes she supports (recycling, being green, ect.) so I figure I would do one, too.

TWLOHA is a non-profit movement to find help for those suffering from depression. Which is a shockingly high amount of people; in fact, about 121 million people suffer from depression, 18 million of them in America and about 66% of them never seek help, resulting in suicide. "... suicide is the third leading cause of death among teenagers."

"To Write Love on Her Arms began in Orlando, FL in February 2006 as a (written) story, the true story of five days spent with a friend who was denied entry into a drug treatment center. The story was a look at those five days, and the t-shirts were printed and sold initially as a way to pay for our friend's treatment. "
