Support Suicide Awareness at Yakima’s 3rd Annual Suds Against Suicide
The 3rd annual Suds against suicide concert and fundraiser event is set to help spread awareness, raise money, and rock Yakima Avenue, and we have all the details below.
Why This Cause Hits Close to Home
Everyone has been affected by the devastation that suicide can bring. Directly or indirectly. If it wasn't a member of your own family or a friend, then odds are your friend has been faced with the sudden loss.
In October of 2022, my family received a one-two gut punch when my cousin's husband passed away unexpectedly at the age of 48. Ten days later, my cousin took her own life. Leaving behind their 2 adult children and one grandchild. They were married for 30 years, and even as I'm writing this, a tear is forming.
Need Help? You're Not Alone
Please remember, no matter how alone you may feel, you are not. Someone loves you, and you make this world a better place; you might just not realize it yet.
Dial 9-8-8 or visit 988LifeLine.org and please reach out before an action is taken that can't be undone.
