Born of grief, born of love, our message is clear; aiding those at risk of suicide.
Hello!
My name is Bobbi Sapp and I am Christopher's mother. Earlier this year, I lost him to suicide.
The Launch of Christopher’s Message was on April 22, 2022, at Francis Lake in Madison, FL. We were joined by Young Miss Madison County 2022, Chloe Dickinson, who is working towards her Florida title goals in the future, focusing on Suicide Prevention and awareness as her platform.
She greeted guests, helped place lanterns and handed out flyers to attendees. Friends and family attended from as far as Ocala in support of a much needed organization in not only our community but the world in general!
It is the hope of the organization to find a safe place to call home, to host trainings, events surrounding the cause and sessions of information and resources for those in crisis as well as survivors and attempt survivors!!If you would like to donate, time, money or services or just find out more about the goals of the organization please contact us via social media, Christopher's Message, or email, christophersmessage@yahoo.com.
Thank you all for your support and prayers!!We CAN make a difference!!
How Can You Get Involved
We're hosting groups Thursday, Friday and Saturday night to discuss life, enjoy each other's company and ensure the health of our community's youth. Currently, we're in search of a building to call our own. One where we can provide a safe place for children, teens, and young adults to come too. Where they can talk to someone, receive support and resources to help guide them.
We have also established Cruising with Christopher, a way for us to reach farther than our local community. A care package of information is mailed to those who request our assistance. I am so happy to say that his message has been shared across the country already... and even into Canada!
So, involvement. You can donate time, in helping serve as a role model for those who seek our help. You can donate money, towards a building or towards our mission in general. Most of all, you can donate your resources. Share our message with your friends, your network of contacts who'd benefit from the support of suicide prevention. There are probably more people than you'd think who would benefit. After all, 2020 reports showed over one million attempts at suicide in the US alone.
Help us, Help them
Christopher's Message is here to identify and aid individuals in need. Together, we CAN make a difference.
Follow us on Facebook, stay up to date through our website and join our mailing list. We've not been established for long and we've already come so far. We can't wait to look back in a year and see how much farther we've grown.
Love,
Bobbi
