Please Stay

Reminder: You are so incredibly loved.

We
Need
You
Here.

We really do. In fact, we made all of this just for you. You’re that important. We hope you can feel our support.

“An anchor is something you can hold on to for another day or minute — it doesn’t have to be groundbreaking, it can be a smile from a stranger, steak tacos, rugby...”

The Pledge

I, , agree to stay alive. Even when the world seems to stop spinning, I promise I will keep going. I promise to keep fighting.

I promise to reach out when I need support.

I promise to stay here.

I am here to stay.
