    Young woman with a unique mission

     

    While there are plenty of self help websites for depression and suicide theres a young lady at www.imacutter.com who's doing something different. She's attempting to help those who are prone to self injury. This in itself may not be a news worthy event, but she's setup a website and doing her best to help others without a staff, and out of her own pocket. To quote the website:

     

    "imacutter.com is a brand new non-profit movement dedicated to presenting

    hope and finding help for those struggling with self-injury, cutting,

    addiction, and suicide. since we are brand new we are working to help

    people throughout the country. imacutter.com exists to encourage,

    inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and

    recovery. our main goal is to support and self-help for the individuals

    and families affected by family members who are dug deep into this

    addiction. we are not professionals. we are just a bunch of teens who

    went through the same things that you went through. we are victims of

    cutting, and burning, hair pulling, scratching, and hurting ourselves.

    and we are not here to judge. we want YOU to have someone to talk to,

    when you need someone to talk to."

     

    Maybe if more people would try to do something like this, selflessly helping others the world would be a better place.
