To Write Love On Her Arms
For the past nine years one movement, To Write Love On Her Arms, has dedicated their time to finding help and producing hope to people who are struggling with depression, suicide, and self-injury. The purpose of this movement is to inform and encourage about the treatment and recovery process when wrestling with suicide. The founder of this non-profit, Jaime Tworkowski, wants to tell people’s stories of survival to give hope to those who are going through hard times. Since they have created this non-profit they have been able to respond to over 170,000 messages from over 100 countries and have invested over $1,200,000 in treatment and recovery. This organization is very small considered to other non-profits with only 21 employed members but they have a large number of supporters and people who are willing to volunteer to help this organization stay in business. Though it is small they have grown in popularity through bands and musicians who wear the organizations products, which after looking at their Form 990, has helped revenue continue to increase year after year. The people who struggle with suicide who feel that all hope is lost are able to find a community that offers love and support within this organization. Their hope is for people to understand that every story is important.
