Dear Friend,
On behalf of everyone at TELL, we would like to say a big thank you to all of you who donated to our Toll-Free end of year fundraising campaign. Thanks to your incredible generosity we have been able to raise enough funds to pilot two months of Toll-Free Support, which surpasses our initial ask!
For more than 50 years TELL has been supporting Japan’s international communities' mental health needs through our Lifeline, professional counselling, EAP services, outreach events, workshops, suicide prevention, and disaster responses. As we celebrate 50 years of saving lives and helping people be more resilient, the recent earthquakes and disasters in Ishikawa are a timely reminder that access to crisis support is an essential service and that equitable barrier-free access is critical in ensuring everyone can access important resources and supports and make it to the next day.
We will keep you updated on the progress and impact of the Toll-Free project, which we are hoping to roll out in March and September when more people struggle with suicidal thoughts in Japan. We are truly touched by your kindness and support. \Without you, we would not be able to provide these vital services, and so on behalf of TELL and those we serve, we extend our sincerest thanks.
Sincerely,
Vickie Skorji
TELL Lifeline Director
Dear Friend,
Thanks to your support, next year TELL will pilot a toll-free service for our users.
With your help, we have met and surpassed our goal, raising ¥871,216 to fund the Lifeline Toll-Free Pilot project.
Our current funds raised can cover more than a month of toll-free access.
Currently, our users have to pay for the calls that they make to us, and that can be challenging for some. The cost of a phone call should not be an obstacle for someone to receive support.
Just ¥2,640 can cover 2 hours of toll-free access to the Lifeline.
Every donation could be the difference in someone deciding to pick up the phone. Donate today and help fund a call for someone in need when they need it most.
Can you help us further extend our pilot program in 2024? We eare extending our goal of one month's coverage to 2 month's coverage: ¥1,309,440.
We are ¥438,224 away from covering two months of Toll-Free coverage.
With enough funding, this project can go beyond a one month pilot to further meet the needs in our community.
Thank you for your support of TELL as we continue to make support for the community a reality!
