This page is a living testament to courage, healing, and the power of vulnerability. Here, members of our community share their personal messages, poems, videos, and reflections—honest moments that remind us we're not alone in our struggles.
Each story shared is a light in the darkness, a hand reaching out, a declaration: “I HAVE — but I choose to live.”

"I wanted to share this video message I posted on my Facebook page. I think the work you're doing is great, Vanessa. If there is anything I can do to help expand the “I HAVE Movement,” please let me know. I am here to support you and those who struggle with thoughts of suicide. I hope this brief testimony of my story helps someone, if not many, who sees it."
