Hugh Jackman
Today I was contacted privately by two seperate people on Twitter regarding a friend of their’s committing suicide (unconnected to each other). It was very tough to hear. They both wanted to make sure we knew that people need help and were behind our vision of making sure that anyone can get the care they need. That being said, it is a huge task to accomplish. We know we can do it, but we need your help.
Hugh Jackman is planning on donation $100,000 AUS to a charity. (Details here.) Which one, you ask? He is waiting for YOU to tell him, in 140 characters or less, on Twitter. Please let him know you think he should invest in people like Jennifer and her kids or the young man mentioned earlier in this post.
If you do not already have a Twitter account you can sign up for one here. Not ready to make that jump quite yet? That is ok. We still have lots of ways you can help those in pain, those grieving, those who have been abused.
We need volunteers in our Winter Park, Florida Headquarters. We need help to pay our staff, who work tirelessly to save lives for mostly for free. We need to spread the word about this site, our Twitter, Myspace and Facebook pages. We need to connect with therapists around the country.
Bottomline, we need YOU. Jennifer needs YOU. The friends who contacted me today need YOU. You are a part of this movement and we cannot do any of this without you.
Things like this do not happen without you.
