Suicide is the leading cause of death of youth in Colorado. Connecting kids to therapists quickly is challenging with some schools on remote learning. That's why #HeyNext viewers are supporting The Second Wind Fund through our Word of Thanks microgiving campaign. $46,000+ so far.
Second Wind Fund ensures young people at-risk for suicide quickly get treatment without red tape or huge bills. Second Wind Fund estimates that $1,000 in donations can save a kid's life. As always, I'll match the first 50 $5 donations here: coloradogives.org/SWFsavealife
Suicide prevention is one of the causes most often suggested by Next viewers since we started the Word of Thanks microgiving campaign in June.
We know so many families in Colorado have been impacted by suicide - and often in times when we were more reluctant to discuss the risk than we are today.
Next viewers have raised $700,000+ for Colorado non-profits since June. If you are able to chip in $5 or more to support Second Wind Fund's work saving young lives in Colorado, thank you. If you are able to share this thread, thank you as well.
