Thanks Rhonda and Peaches!!! Now we have a new member of the team, Cindy, who is a friend of Taylors who has contemplated suicide as an option as of lately as she no longer has him to turn to. I've been talking with her and given her some resources.

She has a 13 month old baby, is married (to a jerk it sounds like), and is only 17 years old. Her hope is lost and she is turning around, realizing that we need her help in understanding. We don't need her to crush us over a problem that is only temporary. It's so hard to convince people that life is a never ending loop of lessons that teach us strenth when they get down and depressed to a level of incomprehension. We gotta get her up to her 150.00 goal next.

Here's a little more info:

"The Foundation's activities include:

* Supporting research that is improving our understanding of suicide and its prevention. With close to $5 million in current research grants and initiatives, the Foundation is making progress in determining why suicide occurs and how best to prevent it.
* Providing education and information about depression and suicide to professionals, the media and the public through workshops, trainings, the AFSP website, videos, publications, brochures and public service announcements. AFSP's PSA,"Suicide Shouldn't be a Secret" has reached 88 million television viewers.
* Publicizing the magnitude of the problems of depression and suicide, advocating for polices and legislation that can help prevent suicide and working to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental illness and suicide.
* Offering programs for survivors of suicide loss that can be of assistance and involving survivors in suicide prevention. AFSP survivor initiatives include the National Survivors of Suicide Day program, which was broadcast to over 100 communities last year and was simulcast on the AFSP website, the Survivor e-Network and trainings for survivor support group facilitators.

By walking in an Out of the Darkness Community Walk you will be helping to support the following:

* Research to improve the understanding of factors that contribute to suicide;
* Suicide prevention of college campuses through the dissemination of an educational film;
* National Survivors of Suicide Day conferences;
* Development of national centers that will evaluate the effectiveness of suicide prevention treatments;
* Creation of new survivor support groups;
* Local suicide prevention programs."

Thanks for helping!! I will show you the chart later of the finance allocations from our country. It's really sad and unrealistic.
