It is the Holiday season and with it there’s a darkness that settles in for a lot of people, the kind that hides behind the twinkling lights and cheery carols. It’s the darkness no one talks about at the dinner table, but it’s there—lingering in the quiet moments when everyone else seems happy, connected, alive.
For those struggling with mental illness or battling thoughts of suicide, the holidays can feel like a magnifying glass held up to all the pain and loneliness they’ve been carrying around. While the world celebrates, they’re just trying to hold it together.
We need to talk about it. Not with platitudes, not with empty words, but with the kind of raw honesty that cuts through the bullshit. Because pretending everything’s fine doesn’t save lives—action does. Whether it’s picking up the phone to check in, sitting across from someone over a meal, or throwing your support behind those fighting to make a real difference, it matters. It’s life or death for some.
This isn’t about charity—it’s about humanity. It’s about stepping up for the people in your life and the ones you don’t even know. It’s about lighting the way for someone who can’t see a way out right now. A little bit of hope, a small gesture of connection, can make all the difference.
We’re not here to fix everything overnight. But we can make sure people know they’re not alone in this fight, especially when the world feels like it’s closing in. Every dollar, every conversation, every act of kindness—it’s a step toward illuminating the darkness, one light at a time.
So, let’s get real. Let’s show up. It’s not just about raising money—it’s about raising hope. (Event description credited to Storm King Lounge and Fare and the Pepettini restaurant Family - we could not have come up with anything more beautifully said)
