In the month since our son passed, we have given away approximately 700 Friend of Zach bracelets. Some to family and friends, many to complete strangers who just want to help raise awareness.
As of right now I know Friend of Zach bracelets are being worn in 7 states. Help us spread the word and let's get these bracelets into every state.
While we will continue to ship these bracelets out at no charge to those who ask us, we are also offering them for sale on our company website: HERE. This is a fundraiser to help us raise the money to purchase and send more Friend of Zach bracelets and to purchase materials that will not only help us, but others. We will also dedicated to sending a portion of each sale to a suicide prevention organization.
Each Friend of Zach fundraiser bracelet is $1.00 + $2.50 shipping. We can ship up to 7 bracelets for $2.50.
The bracelets not only serve as a reminder to a wonderful young man, son and big brother, but a reminder to educate ourselves and start talking about depression and suicide.
We'd like to thank you in advance for all of your support, prayers, kind e-mails and the love you have shown our family. Suicide is not something people want to talk about, however, it's time we do..if for no other reason than to equip ourselves and our kids with the right information should a situation arise with a friend or loved one.
*Please note* We are NOT professional therapists or grief counselors! We are only here to provide articles and resources we have found to be helpful in dealing with our own grief. If you or someone you know is considering suicide - PLEASE seek PROFESSIONAL help IMMEDIATELY!
