When I was 14, I lost my mother to cancer and was soon after diagnosed with clinical depression. For years, depression dictated my life—I felt helpless, hopeless, and saw no end in sight. But somewhere along the way, I made the choice to fight back. Little by little, I strengthened my relationship with myself and achieved things I never thought possible.
Quest has been a huge part of that journey. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit in Charleston, their mission is to strengthen the mental fitness of students and young adults. Through Quest, I’ve been surrounded by a community that understands, encourages, and challenges me.
Today, mental illness and suicide are more prevalent than ever. I want to support those who feel the way I once did—those who see no light at the end of the tunnel. By supporting Quest, you can help them realize that there is hope, that they have so much to offer, and that their lives are worth living.
I’m proud to share my story as proof that there is hope on the other side. Please consider donating to support Quest’s mission. Together, we can help more students reclaim their lives.
