I don’t understand how anyone can be against To Write Love on Her Arms. It’s one thing to not being interested in getting involved and I can respect that; there are a ton of amazing organizations and you can’t get involved in them all (or even if you don’t think it’s amazing, fine, but at least try to understand why it matters to some people). But to literally be against TWLOHA? I don’t get it! Never have and probably never will..
I wonder the same thing. I just saw a post under the TWLOHA tag that talked about how “shitty” of an organization they are, how everyone involved is a thief, etc. Sure, the way they raise their money is through selling t-shirts and others merch. But a huge percentage of the money goes to other organizations (currently IAmAlive, a suicide prevention hotline). Other organizations may not sell merch but they ask for money in other ways. It’s how organizations work. It’s their purpose. But raising money isn’t TWLOHA’s only purpose, they are there to support people struggling and DO. Look how many people have been saved by them. I am one of those people. I don’t know where I’d be today without getting involved with To Write Love.
So if you don’t think they’re a great organization, that’s fine. But don’t bash them. And if you haven’t thoroughly researched what they do and what their mission is, you don’t get to speak.
