Dear Choose Love Family,
As we near the end of an eventful year, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for supporting the Choose Love Movement™. Your generosity has been a beacon of hope and transformation for countless individuals.
The mental health crisis among our children is reaching alarming levels, yet over 70% of our kids do not get the help they need.
- 1 in 3 high school students report feeling persistent sadness, or hopelessness which has increased by 40% since 2009. Girls reported these feelings 50% of the time.
- By the time our children are 18 years old, nearly half will have a diagnosed mental illness.
- The average onset age for anxiety is six years old.
Our children need us to step up. Mental health is the largest issue we face in our education system which not only impacts personal and academic success, but can compromise school and community safety. What happened to Jesse was preventable, and together, we are working to ensure that future tragedies like this never happen again.
Choose Love is making a transformative impact on millions of children worldwide. Our program equips young people with the essential life skills they need to lead emotionally healthy, resilient lives, and to reduce the root causes of violence, mental illness, and substance abuse.
You are a fundamental part of our mission. As we look forward to another year of growth and impact, your continued partnership will help us build the world we aspire to live in.
Your contributions are not just donations; they are investments in a brighter, kinder world. Today, we can proudly say that Choose Love has reached 10 million children and adults. With your help, we will reach millions more!
With gratitude and hope,
Scarlett Lewis
Jesse’s mother
