1-800-Suicide

Please consider donating to this cause.
Or at least check out the website: Hopeline.
The government is basically trying to take the number over, and they have made no statement about privacy concerns when questions have been raised. This means they could easily keep a database of anyone who has ever called the number, and honestly, the last thing we need is the government invading our privacy even MORE. Anyway, other than endorsing Barack Obama, this will likely be one of the only "Support this cause..." posts I ever do, because it is important that this number stays, and stays private. I am also looking for a way to contact hopeline and become a phone volunteer.

Thanks to Frank Warren from Postsecret:
For bringing this issue to international attention, and for his humanitarian work in compassion (for lack of a better way to express what he does). We probably can't imagine the amount of lives that have been touched just by reading a secret that hits us hard in the chest. We probably can't imagine how many lives have been changed just by the simple act of letting a postcard go out in the mail, but we walk back to our houses feeling free, light, forgiven.

And on that note...
"True compassion is more than throwing a coin to a beggar. It demands of our humanity that if we live in a society that produces beggars, we are morally commanded to restructure that society." - Martin Luther King Jr.
