TWLOHA
To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement
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.The vision is that we actually believe
these things…You were created to love and
be loved. You were meant to live life in
relationship with other people, to know and be known.
You need to know that your story is important and
that you're part of a bigger story. You need
to know that your life
matters.We live in a difficult world,
a broken world. My friend Byron is very
smart - he says that life is hard for most people
most of the time. We believe that everyone
can relate to pain, that all of us
live with questions, and all of us get stuck in
moments. You need to know that you're not
alone in the places you feel
stuck. We all wake to the human
condition. We wake to mystery and beauty
but also to tragedy and loss. Millions of
people live with problems of
pain. Millions of homes are filled with questions –
moments and seasons and cycles that come as thieves
and aim to stay. We know that pain is very
real. It is our privilege to suggest that
hope is real, and that help is
real. You need to know that
rescue is possible, that fredom is
possible, that God is still in the business of
redemption. We're seeing it
happen. We're seeing lives change as
people get the help they need. People
sitting across from a counselor for the
first time. People stepping into
treatment. In desperate moments, people
calling a suicide hotline. We know that
the first step to recovery is the hardest to
take. We want to say here that it's worth
it, that your life is worth fighting for, that it's
possible to
change.
