Help me support Suicide Prevention, watch me make an entire Soundtrack on live stream~!
I’m partnering up with Challeng to help raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention~
Why should you care about this cause?
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the US for all ages. (CDC)
Every day, approximately 105 Americans die by suicide. (CDC)
There is one death by suicide in the US every 13 minutes. (CDC)
Depression affects 20-25% of Americans ages 18+ in a given year. (CDC)
Suicide takes the lives of over 38,000 Americans every year. (CDC)
Only half of all Americans experiencing an episode of major depression receive treatment. (NAMI)
80% -90% of people that seek treatment for depression are treated successfully using therapy and/or medication. (TAPS study)
An estimated quarter million people each year become suicide survivors (AAS).
There is one suicide for every estimated 25 suicide attempts. (CDC)
There is one suicide for every estimated 4 suicide attempts in the elderly. (CDC)
I have personally experienced some of this and I want to help those who are going through it now or knows someone going through it and maybe save a life.
Challeng is a new site for charity crowdfunding. Users propose challenges that creators or groups can take up. Upon successful funding of the Challeng, the group or creator completes the task.
My current Challeng is to write a 10 track soundtrack within 10 hours over a livestream session at my Picarto channel.
I appreciate any and all support you can give to this cause that is very dear to me. Even if you can’t support the cause financially, a share or reblog will help spread the word and awareness~!
Also feel free to suggest Challeng’s to me~! I’m always looking for new ways to help out charity causes. <3
