No one here is alone. Even if you have no one else in your "real" life, you have your family here. If you're on the verge of making a life and death desicion, reach out to someone... anyone.

If you still feel like you don't have anyone in your life to go to, there are still places to go to. Pick up the phone and call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) or go to the website http://www.hopeline.com They are there 24/7/365 to help you get through this.

Maybe you still feel like you can't talk to anyone, send in a card to Postsecret (http://postsecret.blogspot.com/) Lots of people have thought about suicide and sent in a card to them and it saved their life.

You DO have options. Help is out there. You CAN get through this. PLEASE get the help that you need.

The Suicide Helpline is in danger of shutting down and needs donations. Let's honor Nikki's memory by helping them stay in business so that they can continue to help people choose to live. You can donate through Paypal or send in money. http://ssl-033.vianetworks.net/hopeline/ Send in what you can, maybe they'll save the life of one of us.

Dear Jason,

Thank you very much for your donation of 20.00 USD to the Kristin Brooks Hope Center, program manager of the National Hopeline
Network 1-800-SUICIDE (784-2433).

Your donation was a timely gift that will help us keep 1-800-SUICIDE secure and private for people in crisis to find help and hope.

The reality is we still need more support so please help us spread the word. We lost all our federal support 16 months ago and due
to ethical reasons we have only the public to reach out to for support.

We have no paid staff and 95% of the donations go for our telephone bill. We receive 1,000-2,000 calls from people in crisis EVERY
DAY and the only thing that keeps us being able to answer those calls is the support of people like you.

It is a miracle we are surviving but it is a testament to the human spirit, and, I believe that as long as we are doing this work
people will support it.

If you would like more info on our organization, our history and our plans for the future I will be happy to forward them to you.

We are a 501(c)(3) corporation; therefore, your contribution is fully tax deductible. For tax purposes, our corporation number is
68-0342550.

We appreciate your support of our organization! Every dollar, every kind thought coming our way and the personal notes about why
each person donates are appreciated and very important.

Thank you again for your support of our work.


Best always,
H. Reese Butler II
President and Founder
