Dear <Donor First Name>,

On one rainy Tuesday afternoon, Lorie, who has just started her shift, received a call from a distressed teenage boy. Anguished and depressed, Tim had swallowed some meds he found in his father’s cabinet. Lorie calmly talked to Tim, built enough trust to get him to share his address, and then sent help to this 16-year old boy’s home.

Thanks to your generous support over the past year we’ve been able to help Tim and many other young people at risk of suicide or struggling with depression and mental health right here in Change State.

Because of you, Tim is now safe. Because of you, Tim is now starting therapy. Because of you, Tim has a second chance at growing up.

However, although we inch toward a safer, healthier community every day, our work is far from over.

Our hotline receives an average of 50 phone calls per week from young people looking for guidance and help. There are many young people like Tim out there who need our support, and although we’re doing our best, we can’t help all of them.

As the year comes to a close, we’re working to secure enough funding to get us through the winter. Elaine, please consider a year-end gift of $500 to help us reach a goal of $40,000. Together, we can continue improving the lives of people like Tim.

Your gift will ensure that trained staff is available to provide quality mental health and suicide prevention services to everyone.

Again, thank you for all your past support.

Sincerely,

<Org Representative>

P.S. Remember, your gift is tax-deductible for 2021 if you make it on or before December 31st!
