When I first started supporting TWLOHA I did it for myself. I needed something to believe in, something to cling to, something to give me HOPE. I needed to find others who were struggling just like I was so that I would know I was not alone. At the beginning of my journey I felt so alone…like no one could possibly understand the thoughts that were racing through my ead and everything I was feeling..all day every day was a struggle. And I couldn’t even wrap my head around that so how could anyone else??
And I found what I was looking for in TWLOHA… I found community. And it was through this community that I first found out about IMALIVE. I wanted to make a difference and offer HOPE to someone else in their time of need just like so many others have done for me.
So for me its about giving back. Its about taking the support and love others have poured out onto me and pouring it out on the strangers I meet everyday. Its about making a difference in the world. Its not about me anymore. Its about the people we are here to support.
