A Community United Against Youth Suicide

Every day, countless young people are carrying invisible battles struggles with depression, anxiety, bullying, loneliness, and hopelessness. For some, these battles feel so heavy that they begin to question whether their life has value. Tragically, suicide has become the second leading cause of death among youth ages 10–24. These are not just numbers they are sons, daughters, classmates, and friends. Their futures matter, and their voices deserve to be heard.

At Why Not You, our mission is simple yet urgent: to ensure no young person feels they have to suffer in silence. We believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and surrounded by hope. But hope doesn’t just happen it’s built through community, compassion, and resources that make healing possible.

Your support on North Texas Giving Day directly fuels life-saving efforts. With your help, we can provide:

• Counseling sessions for students in crisis who need professional guidance and a safe space to process their pain.
• Meals and safe community events that remind youth they are cared for, valued, and never forgotten.
• Programs and workshops that teach coping strategies, build self-confidence, and equip youth to face life’s challenges with resilience.
• Support networks that let teens know they are not alone and that someone believes in them, even when they struggle to believe in themselves.

Behind every dollar you give is a young person whose story can be rewritten. A donation of $25 might provide a meal and self-care tools. $100 could cover the cost of a counseling session. Larger gifts ensure entire programs and outreach events continue, giving hundreds of young people the opportunity to connect, grow, and heal.

When you give to Why Not You, you aren’t just donating you are planting seeds of hope. You are helping to break the cycle of silence and stigma. You are reminding our youth that their lives matter and that their future is worth fighting for.

We cannot bring back the lives already lost, but together, we can prevent the next. With your generosity, we can continue building a community where young people know it’s okay to ask for help, okay to take off the mask, and okay to believe in a brighter tomorrow.

This North Texas Giving Day, our goal is to raise $10,000 a goal that represents countless opportunities to touch lives, restore hope, and save futures. But we cannot do this alone. We need compassionate partners like you.

So we ask: Why not you? Why not be the one who stands in the gap for our youth? Why not be the reason a young person chooses hope instead of despair? Why not give the gift of life?

 Together, we can give hope. Together, we can save lives.

Give Hope. Save Lives. Why Not You?
