To Write Love on Her Arms has wrapped its 4th annual campaign to honor National Suicide Prevention Week and World Suicide Prevention Day.
The organization was overwhelmed by the amount of love and support shown during this year's campaign, titled "We'll See You Tomorrow."
Nearly $83K was raised for treatment and counseling, and support was seen from numerous celebrities including actress Jessica Chastain, actor Jared Padalecki and USA soccer star Alex Morgan.
TWLOHA also participated in events in Toronto, Chicago, and Nashville before wrapping up the week in Minneapolis with two final events: one with the Minnesota National Guard and the second featuring a special pop-up shop at the Mall of America.
TWLOHA founder Jamie Tworkowski said, "National Suicide Prevention Week has ended but the conversation continues. We're proud of all that was accomplished this week. Lives are changing and people are choosing to stay alive. Every time you're honest about your story, every time you ask for help, it gives someone else permission to do the same."According to the World Health Organization, more than 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression.
An estimated two-thirds of those people never get help, even though untreated depression is the leading cause of suicide.
Although TWLOHA knows people are struggling today, the organization wanted to send a message that there are people and organizations working to make sure they see tomorrow.

T-shirts featuring the "We'll See You Tomorrow" campaign artwork are available in the TWLOHA online store.
