Your continued generosity and partnership mean the world. 💛

💜🌍 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

Across the globe and right here at home, too many lives are cut short by su***de. Rural communities like ours feel this pain deeply—but we also carry the power to change it.
Prevention starts with connection: a check-in with a friend, a conversation that breaks the silence, a reminder that no one has to struggle alone. Every action, no matter how small, can be life-saving.
Today, let’s honor those we’ve lost, support those who are struggling, and commit to being a voice of hope.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 and press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line, or chat via 988lifeline.org. Help is available—24/7, free, and confidential.

Together, we can create a community where every life is valued and every story matters. 💛

Today is World Semicolon Day.
A day to reflect.
A day to remember.
A day to say, “My story isn’t over.”

We honor those we’ve lost.
We celebrate those still fighting.
And we stand together—for hope, healing, and change.

🖤 If the semicolon is part of your story, share it with us. Show your tattoo. Light a candle. You are not alone.
