💔 Trigger Warning / Suicidal Ideation //
I know what it feels like to believe that the pain will never end. I know what it feels like to need help and not know where to turn.
But I also know this:
Sometimes staying alive starts with one decision. ONE conversation. ONE person who answers the phone One place that says, “You belong here.”
I started Darkness RISING to create a safe space for us. Our communities deserve access to mental health support that sees us, understands us, and reminds us that our lives are worth fighting for. We’ve been providing FREE therapy, 10 sessions per person for communities in need.
Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, I’m telling you why I’m still here. This is why I keep doing this work.
This is why we need your help to keep going:
We lost 49% of our funding this year. If you’re able to support this work, please consider a donation.
Your gift helps Darkness RISING continue connecting the Black community & formerly incarcerated people of color with mental health resources, therapy, wellness programming, and spaces where people can be honest about what we’re carrying.
I’m still here.
And I want more of us to be.
🧡 Donate today & help us keep RISING.
