Our lives were forever changed when we received the news that our son, had died by suicide. Jon had no known history of mental health issues. He was embarking on a new adventure, headed off to college across the country when he ended his life. Shocked by this, we searched for answers and found that there was much to learn about suicide. In the following year, our community experienced several suicides. Witnessing the shock and devastation of our community, and our own experience, we were gripped with a question, “What can we do?”

In asking that question, the idea was sparked to spread hope in simple ways. Out of this came our Signs of Hope Campaigns. This was just the beginning of the Our City Cares movement.

Today OurCityCares sends Signs of Hope Kits to as many schools as we can each year. It all depends on the funds raised. Now that we have a Nation Wide Crisis number, we can expand our reach by creating print and ship-on-demand campaigns that can go anywhere in the Nation. It's a great opportunity to expand our impact while reducing the cost of our campaigns. Let's Build Each Other Up and stop the epidemic of suicide. Please help us get our E-commerce site up and going so more communities can bring Signs of Hope campaigns to their cities

Thank you in advance because it truly does take a CITY THAT CARES to change this cultural epidemic.

Sincerely, Sheryl Stephens Founder and President
