“There are two things that cannot be achieved in life unless you close your eyes a little bit. And that’s love and peace. If you want perfection you won’t obtain either of them.” —Shimon Peres

Calendar of Upcoming Events

Join thousands who understand suicide’s impact. Participate with us and raise needed funds for suicide prevention.

You can donate to support our own Carol Palmer in her continuing efforts to honor loved ones we’ve lost to suicide and to support those who are struggling.

Here’s a note from Carol:

For people who are reluctant to donate via the net, you can send a check to me, made out to American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (or AFSP), to (my address): PO Box 142 Bend. OR 97709-0142.

To donate to my walk through the AFSP site, here’s the hyper-link directly to my donation page, where you will see me in my 61 year old nursing cape and cap:

https://www.theovernight.org/participant/38987

You may donate anonymously, if you wish.

When you donate, there is a place where you can make a note, and I’d be delighted if you want to include the first name of a person who you are honoring or remembering in this donation, and I will place that name on my “walking in honor of…” shirt. I’m hoping that you can get a donation in within the next 2 weeks, though AFSP will accept donations in my name through mid July.
