Monthly Spotlight: To Write Love on Her Arms
Starting in February 2021, we decided that Ride The Wave will highlight a mental health organization each month! We picked each of these organizations in which we feel connected to and fully support. Feel free to donate to that organization to help further support their message and goals. This month we are giving the spotlight to To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA). TWLOHA was founded by Jamie Tworkowski and officially launched in 2007. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. Jamie didn’t set out to start an organization but it came about when he set out on a mission to help his friend who was struggling and wanted to share her story. By sharing his friend’s story people from around the world reached out and TWLOHA became an official organization. Their platform “exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery,” a mission we fully support. We stand with TWLOHA to inspire the belief that we were created to love and be loved, that we need other people, that everyone's individual stories are different and they matter, and that hope and health are real. There are better days ahead, let's look forward with To Write Love on Her Arms.
