My Nonprofit Reviews

After losing my son to suicide ten months ago, my entire world turned upside down as did that of his wife and young daughter. I went to therapy for a few months, wasn’t working for me, tried everything, no support groups in my area, so I did an online search for ‘survivors of suicide’ support groups and came across Alliance of Hope. I immediately introduced myself, told my story, and was immediately welcomed and comforted by the most amazing people. That was five months ago and I’m still here. With them. Always. We all ‘get it’ and can share anything and everything without judgment. Full acceptance and understanding. No matter what or when. We are a true ‘family of suicide survivors,’ traveling this journey together, this journey none of us want to be on. But we are here. In support of each other. Adding insight and support. Step by step. Day by day. This is a phenomenal organization started by Ronnie Walker. She is amazing and continues to lead and comfort us along our journey. Unfortunately, in today’s world, suicide is on the rise. Attention needs to be paid to mental health/illness to stop this ‘pandemic’ of suicide. Suicide is not 100% preventable. Suicide is complicated. It needs to be discussed on a public forum, researched and successfully treated and stopped. In the meantime, Alliance of Hope is saving lives. Lives of survivors.

My Only son, Jason, died by Suicide six months ago at the age of 41. Married, four-year-old daughter, professional, athlete, healthy, many friends, constant smile, great son, beautiful home. Everything. When he took his life tragically, I totally fell apart. I searched for help and support from my Primary Care Doctor, a therapist, anyone. Friends tried to help. But I needed help from people who have been where I was and am. I went online and found this lifesaving website, Alliance of Hope. I reached out immediately, told Jason’s story, and asked for help from anyone and everyone who could relate to my state of mind and the loss of a child. I was overwhelmed with the amount of responses I received and the comfort each and every person was to me then, now, and will continue to be as I travel this horrendous journey of grief for my son. This is an amazing organization and is such a light at the end of our dark tunnel of grief. If I were a wealthy woman, I would certainly support this treasure of an organization. I am blessed to have found them in my darkest hours. Thank you for being there now and in the future. ������❤️
