Help spread hope this May in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Month!


The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's (AFSP) New Hampshire Chapter is looking for caring and creative volunteers to help us set up a mental health mission moment in New Hampshire.


Volunteers will set up a resource table and "Hope Wall" at a local coffee shop or mental health organization. You will have the opportunity to connect community members to vital suicide prevention materials, hand out free mental health awareness swag, and create a space where people can share hope with one another. Supporters will be invited to add a post it note to the "Hope Wall" with positive mental health messaging, a joyful drawing, or the name of a loved one who is being honored or remembered.


All materials will be provided by AFSP.

Sandy has been so busy being the primary caregiver of everyone else the last three decades that she has not been able to focus on the maintenance of the exterior of her trailer.  She also does not have an exterior water source that would allow someone to hook up a power washer.  


 


We are looking for a fairy god mother with a mobile power washing service to clean this siding and slippery stairs.

Sandy has not been able to see out her front bay windows of her single-wide trailer in decades.    At this point, they are too overwhelming a task of someone her age, stature and capabilities to tackle.


She needs a dream team to spruce up the place and bring her into the light.
