TWLOHA- Jamie Tworkoski

Statistics show that 121 million people worldwide suffer with depression, addiction, and self-injury. 18 million of these victims live in the United States alone. 2/3 of those people won't seek treatment.  

Jamie Tworkowski is the founder of TWOHLA, (to write love on her arms) a nonprofit organization presenting hope and finding help for young people struggling with self-injury, addiction, suicide, and depression. In March of 2006 Jamie started to raise money for his friend's treatment starting with a MySpace blog and selling t-shirts. It then grew into a huge organization.

It was a single friend, just raising support, then grew into a global cause. TWLOHA has reached thousands of people across the globe through Facebook, conferences, high school assemblies and many other different ways. Plus, bigger organizations support TWLOHA. NBC American Giving Award gave one million dollars to TWLOHA. Celebrities and bands have also help support the organization, including Miley Cyrus, One Republic, and Paramore. 

JEREMIAH 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," Declares the Lord," Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
