Dear CTL, Crisis Counselors, Supervisors, Tech Support, Data Dev, Engineering, and our texters most of all: Thank you.

The hoodie has a depth, breath, and dimension far beyond hours and cotton. The hoodie put meaning back into a broken life. The hoodie educated me. The hoodie expanded my compassion. The hoodie gave me community. The hoodie offered up new friends who I may never repay my half of our friend contract. The hoodie is unconditional love and support. Yet…

The hoodie allowed me to journey with texters to have them discover and achieve a cool calm. My fervent wish is perhaps one texter who entrusted me to journey with them and discover their cool calm has realized a durable outcome. I am beyond grateful for being allowed to journey with them. I feel selfish that I learned a little more about me from them.

It’s a hoodie that has a life of its own.

There is so much you will find and accomplish when you volunteer with Crisis Text Line, You got this.
