To Write Love on Her Arms
Announces "#IWasMadeFor"
Campaign for Suicide Prevention
Melbourne, FL - August 9, 2017 - The nonprofit To Write Love on Her Arms just announced its "#IWasMadeFor" campaign to honor National Suicide Prevention Week (September 10 - September 16) and World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10) today.The campaign theme is "Stay. Find what you were made for."
The theme comes from a book called When Hope Speaks, written by former TWLOHA intern Jessica Morris. With the hope of encouraging people to continue living, Jessica wrote:
"Fight for these moments. Please stay.
Stay and discover these new lands. These new people. The hidden gems you didn't even know existed. Stay and find out what you were made for. You are not a failure. You are not irreparably broken. Step forward now, crawl if you must, into a grace that shines light into the shadows of your soul. You are safe here. In fact, this is home."
"The most important thing we can do as an organization is give people a reason to stay, to move from despair to hope, and to connect them to the resources they need and deserve," says CFO Lindsay Kolsch. "We hope this campaign will do that for the millions of people struggling with thoughts of suicide."
People can participate in this year's campaign by purchasing the organization's World Suicide Prevention Day pack, joining the conversation on Twitter and Instagram using #IWasMadeFor, and donating to the fundraising campaign. TWLOHA will directly invest every dollar from the "#IWasMadeFor" campaign into treatment and recovery.
To Write Love on Her Arms is a nonprofit dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery. Since its start in 2006, TWLOHA has donated over $1.8 million directly into treatment and recovery and answered over 200,000 emails from over 100 countries.

Terry Carter reveals ‘The Truth About Pigs’
Book hopes to enlighten, bring truth about law enforcement personnel
GLENDALE, Ariz. – As a child, retired police officer and author, Terry Carter, experienced hardships and struggled with maturity and social acceptance. Overcoming these odds, he then became a law enforcer, which exposed him to dangerous experiences involving racial tension, murder, police attitudes, mistrust, anxiety, deception, death, the dangers that face law enforcement officers and a variety of intriguing events.
Through his book, “The Truth About Pigs” (published by AuthorHouse), Carter shares his views about the incorrect perception about today’s police force. The book promotes a better understanding of the character of the men and women who enforce the laws, exposing imperfections and lawlessness at times, but honoring their commitment to fulfill the oath to protect and serve. In the book, the author also shares his conservative political views, as well as the views of many that supported and continue to support the election of President Donald Trump.
The book focuses on the problems of earlier times about how the general public views police brutality, racial and religious discrimination, political preferences and how events have evolved that relate to the violence being presented in the news today.
“(The book) will appeal to those that have an interest in understanding difficulties police have based on real life situations, how their abilities are negatively affected by complacency, indifference, liberalism and ignorance,” Carter says. “It suggests that knowledge and common sense are essential to changes for correcting many of the ills facing society today.”
