Ellen lost her wife Monica to su***de in 2021.

Now, Ellen is honoring Monica and reminding others that we can all play a role in saving lives, and supporting those who have lost loved ones.

Ellen has pledged to match every gift to made on May 14, dollar for dollar, up to $20,000.

Each May, Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month commemorates the history and contributions of cultures from all of the Asian continent and the Pacific Islands of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. To recognize this important month, especially as it coincides with May , join us in shedding light on the need for culturally competent care within historically marginalized communities, including the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.

Remember, the importance of Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage does not end with May. So please join us, this May and beyond, in raising awareness about mental health and su***de prevention in the AAPI community.

When it comes to preventing su***de and supporting people who’ve lost loved ones, have their own lived experience or have been affected by su***de, community means everything. 💙

This , we want to remind you that it’s through community that we gain strength and become greater than the sum of our parts. Isolation is a risk factor for su***de; and community a protective factor: a useful and lasting way of strengthening our own mental health while being there for one another.

We are a community dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by su***de: because when we think and act and feel as a community, we ensure no one feels alone. This May and beyond, discover how powerful we can be together. Through community. 🫂✨

Karen walks for her son, Troy Vaden.

Losing Troy had a large impact on Karen and her family. Troy’s sister, Victoria, and Karen walked in their first one year after Troy’s death.

“”We weren’t sure what to expect, but the experience was incredibly moving and eye opening. As we walked through the night together, we realized something powerful — we were not alone in our grief.””

This year, Karen will be walking through the night for the fourth time in honor of Troy.
