Su***de awareness and prevention

We are very happy to announce that our fund has donated $7,000 to 4 great organizations in our Region. First, the Porter County LOSS team received $4,000. The LOSS program is so important and needed in our area. The LOSS team is a community and law enforcement program in Porter County, Indiana, that provides immediate support, guidance, and resources to families and individuals who have lost a loved one to su***de. Second is $1,000 to Y.E.S. (Youth, Empowerment, Success). They are a great organization that trains and sends youth ambassadors to schools throughout the area to talk about su***de awareness, bullying and a host of other topics. Third is $1,000 to the Shine The Light Project. STLP is a local youth theater but it is so much more than that. I have seen first hand the impact the group has on these youngsters. They are given a safe place to be themselves, grow and become successful adults. STLP is also know for bringing in speakers to discuss some of the hard topics youths have to deal with now days. Last but not least, $1000 to Porter Stark for their su***de prevention outreach. They do great work in our community.
Thank you to all of you for the work that you do. 🩵💜🩵💜

Somewhat lengthy but super important. With September and Su***de Awareness Month coming to an end, it’s important to remember to keep an eye on your people beyond just the month of Sept. (Note: Some of these numbers have unfortunately grown since receiving my info) Over the last couple weeks I have compiled some numbers. In 2025, Porter County had 27, Laporte County had 29, and Lake County had 74 deaths by su***de. So far this year in Porter County has had 15, Laporte County 23, and Lake County 41 deaths by su***de. Now some may look at these numbers and think in the grand scheme of things these numbers aren’t that significant, 130 people in the region, but as far as I’m concerned 1 is too many. Here is where those numbers really change. On average, 1 su***de can affect up to 135 peoples lives. That’s 17,500 people affected in just our little region last year alone. Please keep an eye out for some of the signs below, talk with your people, say hi to that super quiet loner at work or school that no one talks to. Show them you care. It can save a life. And if you are feeling low, please for the love of god reach out to someone or call 988. Anything in life can be fixed. It may not be immediate or easy but it can be fixed…all you have to do is reach out for help.

Some moments in life feel too heavy… like everything is happening all at once, and your mind can’t seem to slow down. The thoughts keep coming, the worries keep building, and before you know it, even the smallest things feel overwhelming.
But maybe the answer isn’t to fix everything at once.
Maybe it’s to pause.
To take a breath—not a rushed one, but a deep, gentle breath that reminds you you’re still here, still standing, still capable of moving forward. You don’t have to solve your whole life today. You don’t need all the answers right now.
Just one thought at a time.
One step at a time.
One day at a time.
There is strength in slowing down. There is peace in choosing to focus only on what’s right in front of you, instead of everything that could go wrong. When you break things down, what once felt impossible becomes something you can actually handle.
So if today feels like too much, don’t push yourself to carry it all. Let yourself breathe. Let yourself rest in the moment. Trust that progress doesn’t have to be fast to be real.
Because sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do… is simply keep going, quietly, gently, one step at a time. 🌸
