1-800-SUICIDE

  • Posted on April 18, 2006 at 2:20 pm

The wonderful HopeLine.com that PostSecret.com advertises after viewing so many deep dark secrets that are sent to them over the years is suffering some issues right now. They are asking for donations to the cause and need to raise $1,000 in 7 days.

Now, most of you know that I have been in and out of hospitals due to the many times I was told, “I cannot help you” and I did indeed utilize a suicide hotline that saved my life in the past. This type of thing is priceless to me and I know many of you. I don’t usually advertise on my blog for things but this is a need, not a want.

Please consider donating to this site. You can do so directly through HopeLine.com at the top of their page. They are trying to keep a very popular phone line open that saves lives. I wanted to let you know because someone visiting my blog let me know. If you have a moment, post this to your blog and let others know. I just went to the HopeLine.com site and it’s a secure payment method. I’m donating today.

Here’s a copy of the letter found at PostSecret.com :

Subject: RE: URGENT NEED

Dear Frank,

I received your Federal Express envelope today and deposited your generous donation of $4,000.00. Thank you.

As I explained to you on the phone yesterday, we are in desperate need of raising an additional $1,000.00 in the next 7 days in order to keep 1(800)SUICIDE operational.

I would not ask you to do this if it were not urgent but could you share our need with those who visit your website?

People can go to www.hopeline.com and make an online donation or they can contact me directly, if they prefer.

Thanks again Frank. I would not make this plea if it were not so critical.

Warm regards,
Reese Butler,
