Hi! You don't know me, but you stopped a visited a fundraiser at a carwash a few months back and gave everyone hugs. My spouse was there and brought me home one of your bracelets. He said he met the coolest family and showed me a picture you took with them.

Little did anyone know that I was contemplating suicide. For me it was like a sign. What are the chances that your spouse walks in with a bracelet that is meant to remind you to live your lifeand don't give up?

Years of going to the therapist, this bracelet and your cause has touched me and changed my mind about life. The doctors never once told me living is so big. I didn't need a band aid, I needed a human being to tell me all the wonderful reasons to live.

I wasn't going to write, but tonight a friends cousin killed himself and I realized you need to know you are doing great work. The world needs more people like your family. I haven't thought about suicide since.

Thank you,
Anonymous

Dear Living Is So Big,

I really appreciate the fact that you guys came to speak to us.  I just have to say that, In my opinion, your family deserves a lot of respect.  It takes time and kindness to be doing what you guys do.  I really like the way you guys expressed yourself.  Your speech was one of the best speeches I have ever heard.

Thanks for the wristband, it's really cute and hot pink. <3 <3 Well, thanks to you guys, today was a good and excellent day for me. It was good and excellent because as you guys said, "If you want to be Happy, you will be happy. If you want to have a Good day, you going to have a good day."

The speech made me realize that there are so many reasons to live life. For example: my friends, my family, my pets, ice cream, and because it is true that everyone is born with a purpose. I still haven't found out which is mine. But, that is another reason why I woke up and was grateful for being here one more day. Because, I want to find out what's my purpose in life.

I also talk about your speech with my friends and they also like it. They realized that it's better to smile and be happy then to be being sad and crying. Once again thanks for coming and giving us a speech, that really helped me

Sincerely,
V.M.

Dear Living Is So Big,

I was one of the students in the 10th period in World Histoery class. Every since your presentation, I can honestly say that I now see life in a different way.  I can relate to Christopher's story because there was a point in my life where I was depressed and felt as if I was alive for no reason. I tried to end my life on multiple occasions.  

When you guys called us up to get our LISB wristbands and our rocks, there was something "unique" about my rock.  It was broken, and when my teacher and Iliana saw that I grabbed that rock they were surprised.

Mrs. Agudo gave me a hug because she said, that rock in particular will go to someone special.  When I sat back down at my desk, I felt like crying because in all reality that rock in a way is a symbol of everything I have been through in life.

As Mrs. Agudo said, "No matter what, every rock or person has been through, they're beautiful in their own way."  I can never forget that.  I am so thankful for Living Is So Big coming to speak to us.  Thank you so Much!

Sincerely,
G. R
