Gratitude Challenge Fundraiser

Dear Friends,

As 2026 comes to a close, this time of year can be difficult as another year passes without our loved ones. While I will always miss my cousin Wesley, I am grateful for the time he was in my life. I am also grateful to be part of a caring organization like Friends for Survival.

Our 2026 Gratitude Challenge is our second of two major fundraising campaigns this year. Our goal is to raise $30,000, and thanks to a generous $10,000 dollar-for-dollar match, your gift can have twice the impact while matching funds remain available.

Your support will help meet our remaining funding needs for 2026 while building the financial foundation for our 2027 programs and services.

Transparency matters to us. Visit our Your Gifts in Action page to learn how your generosity supports our mission and what it costs to provide our programs and services.

Please join me in supporting the Gratitude Challenge by December 31. As you reflect on gratitude and remembrance, I also invite you to explore our 2026 Gratitude Wheel and our new companion resource, Remembering My Loved One. Both offer meaningful opportunities to reflect on the life of someone you love. You can access both resources using the button below.

Thank you for helping us provide connection, understanding, and support to those who have lost a loved one to suicide.

With gratitude,

Susan Reynolds, Executive Director
Friends for Survival, Inc.
