"Love and miss you Cody"
My little brother Cody Stephens committed suicide in March of 2012. Elyssa's Mission has been an amazing charity that focuses on education of teenagers to hopefully prevent tragic situations like this. ANY donation is so appreciated.

Help Elyssa’s Mission bring suicide prevention programs to schools in Illinois
Hi all,
I wanted to do something good and make the world a better place. When I found out that suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people ages 15-34 (NIH, 2015), I knew I had to help. To challenge this statistic, Elyssa's Mission® has taken a leadership role in Illinois by educating school communities on depression and suicide. Last year alone, Elyssa's Mission educated 43,000 students: 2,695 were identified as needing mental health services and 74 students were immediately hospitalized. Since inception, Elyssa's Mission has educated over 400,000 students, parents and school staff and saved 221 young lives.
That's why I created a fundraiser to support ELYSSA'S MISSION NFP. Their Cycle to Save Young Lives event will continue to provide financing for this vital programming at our local schools—and you can be a part of it.
Check out my fundraising page and please consider making a donation to help me reach my goal of [Your Fundraiser's Goal Will Automatically Go Here].
Giving online is easy and fast, and your support will make a real difference. I appreciate your help!
