    Kristin Brooks Hope Center wins $100k for IMAlive.

    Back in January, i sat down to write a note of thanks for your incredible support in the initial Chase Community Giving. That contest went down to the wire and your votes pushed us all the way to 3rd place, which meant $100,000 toward IMAlive, the live online crisis network we're working to launch with our partners Kristin Brooks Hope Center and PostSecret.

    Now, only six months later, Chase Community Giving has happened once again and you guys were amazing once again. This time, we invited you to support Kristin Brooks Hope Center. Just like January, it came down to the final night. Thanks to your support, KBHC finished in 2nd to win another $100,000 for IMAlive.

    The PostSecret community continues to demonstrate generosity and passion beyond words. Frank Warren's Sunday morning "Please Vote" request on PostSecret.com translated to thousands of votes, helping KBHC to climb from 8th all the way to the top.

    While we were certainly aiming for that top spot, we want to take a moment to look at the bigger picture. First off, we want to say congratulations to the Harry Potter Alliance. Inspired by the stories of magic and wonder, Harry Potter fans are now working together to make the world a better place.

    We also want to congratulate the following organizations that finished in the Top 200 and will be receiving $20,000 for their cause: Music Saves Lives, The Mentoring Project, Pablove Foundation, Surfers Healing and Strange Tree Group. There are many organizations doing important work and meeting needs in creative ways. Beyond the funding, we think it's wonderful that Chase Community Giving is bringing attention to so many significant causes.

    The TWLOHA story is one of surprising open doors and you guys have always held the keys. You have taken our message and mission to places we never could have dreamed. Thank you for continuing to believe in hope and help. Thank you for your voices and your votes. Thank you for caring about people.

    Peace to you today.

Jamie, that is great news.
I just wanted to say thanks to you all for being so consistently humble and non-competitive and truly focussed on what matters most. Its such an important part of doing worthwhile things with integrity and I really appreciate your commitment to that.
I'm connected to Youth Vision, the group in Australia TWLOHA will be working with in July/August in schools, and I'm so looking forward to seeing the impact it will have!
Thanks again, and congrats!!

Hey,
My name Heather and I'm a member of the HPA. First I want to say thanks for being so respectful. Even though it was a competition, I've been delighted at how the different charities have been so polite to each other. Each of us does good work, and there should be nothing but celebration for all the money that each group is getting. So, thank you.

Also, Hopeline is a cause that I truly believe in. I know that you will do great work with the money you won! At the end of the day, this contest was about $5 million dollars going not to consumerism or meaningless stuff, but to awesome. :)

All the best,
Heather

Congrats once again! You guys amazed me with your movement when it first got started. Your words warmed my heart when my own daughter made a suicide attempt & supported me for the last three years with words of encouragement during the many ups and downs of mental illness in teens. I wish you'd consider opening an office in Canada. From personal experience there are limited to almost non-existent services for children aged 13 - 16 yrs and no live-in programs in Ontario. So much work is needed to highlight the plight of our kids who are suffering!!

I am humbled continually by the amazing work you do & support your efforts, including buying merch on Warped Tour. I know every penny you have earned will be used to save the lives of many other kids.

Celebrate the successes always!

You guys are amazing in all you do!
I first heard about TWLOHA from Hayley Williams of Paramore's support. With God willing, we can stop the bleeding. I had to talk a friend down from suicide and cutting, and I joined the cause to support TWLOHA the next day. My friends are both survivors and we all write love on our arms.

The Jewish tradition of jewish funeral that continues for the first seven days can be very exhausting both physically and emotionally for the mourners. This is true especially for the Shiva captain and other direct mourners because the Jewish tradition of Shiva needs to be followed intensely and meticulously. There are a number of restrictions and prohibitions for the whole of one week when one sits shiva.

I remember you as you were in the last autumn.
you were the grey beret and the still heart.
In your eyes the flames of the twilight fought on.
And the leaves fell in the water of your soul.
