Will You Give a Gift of Hope This Holiday Season?
This year, more people than ever—especially young people—turned to our Toll-Free Lifeline for support. Some were facing mental health struggles or thoughts of suicide. Others were overwhelmed by financial stress, family conflict, or the deep loneliness that can feel unbearable when there’s nowhere else to turn.
As December approaches, many of us look forward to gathering with friends, family, and colleagues to share gratitude and joy. But for those who are already hurting, the holiday season can be one of the hardest times of the year.
That’s when our Lifeline matters most. Every call and every chat is a moment of connection—a steady, compassionate voice offering understanding, comfort, and hope. And each of those moments reminds someone they don't have to face their pain alone.
But keeping our Lifeline open takes resources: trained volunteers, phone and chat systems, and the hard costs that make every call possible. As we close out the year, we must raise ¥4,000,000 to ensure our free, confidential support is available to everyone who needs it in the year ahead.
Your generosity makes an immediate impact:
- ¥12,000 covers the hard costs of toll-free minutes for a full day of Lifeline calls and chat support.
- ¥84,000 funds a full week of listening and connection.
- ¥370,000 keeps vital toll-free minutes support accessible for an entire month.
Any amount you give truly helps someone find strength at their darkest moment. This holiday season, will you help ensure that no one has to face their struggles alone?
Will you give a gift of hope and help someone make it to tomorrow?
Your donation makes it possible for anyone to reach our Lifeline—without worrying about the cost. Thank you for standing with us.
