My former sister-in-law committed suicide last year, and our neice is doing the Out of the Darkness walk in her memory. If this is something that God leads you to, donations are appreciated...below is her message. Thanks.

I'd like to get some help from you. As you all know mom took her life February 25, 2009. I am participating in San Diego's "Out of the Darknesss" walk October 16, 2010 that helps boost awareness for suicide prevention. I'd appreciate if you can help me reach my donation goal of $300.00 (for now, I'd like to get it up to $500 but I'm not unrealistic.) I have listed the link that you can go to for a secure donation through the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. That's my personal site they gave me so dont worry you're info is safe. ...Please please please help out if you can! Help me reach my goal and help save a life. Thank you SO much for your love and support. I love you all!
