I have been really active in the Trevor Project and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). Trevor provides text and phone based counseling to mostly LGBTQ+ teens who are often either depressed or contemplating suicide. AFSP works to prevent suicide in the general population. I've been in some really dark places in my life and have had people who helped get me out of them and am honored to be able to do this for others who may not have anyone else. I support both of these groups with my time.

I'm also big on animal welfare and seeing that adoptable pets are given to good homes. I support these kinds of groups financially.

Finally, I was the first in my family to go to college and it has helped me tremendously in life. I know that college isn't for everyone, and there are plenty of valid careers in trades, but for many, college is the ticket out of the lower class and I'd like to leave some money to my alma mater to help finance education for those who can't afford it.

This is so strong--thank you for the beautiful post. For me, moving from being a very anxious and overwhelmed cancer patient to being on Connect has been a journey similar what you describe. And thanks for the college shout-out and reminder that education really can be a value (and valuable).
