I want to give a huge thank you to Mark and Susie Winkelman, The Pajama Factory and the Pajama Factory Center for Creativity. Without their help this project would not be possible. They ran a great write-up about the project in their newsletter this month. Check it out. http://www.pajamafactory.net/e/2013/jul_nl_web.html

Fundraising does not come easy for me but I do it because I feel a commitment to the Stay project.
This is an excerpt from Andrew Cohick’s journal. The goal of the Stay project is to let people know they are not alone and it’s ok to feel bad. Talk to someone about it. There is help.
We need your help so others don’t find these secrets later. Please consider supporting our project financially.
 



Andrew passed away after his suicide at 24 year old. He is just one of the voices of the Stay project.

Stay - Ralph Wilson Photography
 
Things are moving along with the Stay project. We have been making wardrobe choices and hadn’t thought it would be so hard to find the right look. We have it narrowed down but would be happy to hear and suggestions.
 
The image above was taken while trying to show different ways to depict self-loathing.

The Kickstarter is doing its thing but could use some help with people spreading the word. Three of us met this morning to start work on other fundraising ideas.
 
Please share this link with all your friends and ask them to do the same. We appreciate your help.

It's has been awhile coming but the Kickstarter campaign has begun. We have already received some generous donations and heard from people who want to share their stories in written word. Thank you all so much.
A couple other sources of support have come forward and I will be following up next week.
It's wonderful to get the emails offering support and thanks for participating in a conversation that is long overdue.

I hope you can lend a hand. Thanks.
