My Story…
As a teacher in Denver Public Schools, I have experienced firsthand the devastating impact of teen suicide, having worked at three schools where this tragedy has touched our community. This organization is dedicated to ensuring that our youth feel heard and seen, helping to prevent the profound effects that suicide has on our schools, families, and communities.
Will you join me in raising funds to support Colorado youth? We need to celebrate their sparkle and potential, not mourn their death.
Thank you!
