We Are All In This Together

This page is dedicated to everyone affected by mental health challenges.

This cause is deeply personal to me, and I want to share a message of hope and solidarity.

Our world faces a silent epidemic — the harsh realities of addiction and depression. These invisible demons have taken far too many loved ones from us too soon. Those still fighting wage a daily, exhausting battle to keep these shadows at bay. It’s up to all of us to remind them: they are not alone, there is no shame in their struggle, and we stand with them — ready to fight alongside them.

These words, inspired by David Draiman of Disturbed, resonate deeply with me. I live with mental health challenges myself, and I know what it feels like to face despair and lack access to help. Crocheting has become my therapy — a way to transform painful thoughts into something beautiful.

Below you’ll find pieces inspired by organizations, quotes, and actions that have moved me. For every sale on this page, I’ll donate $5 to support those in need.

Remember

There is always a reason to fight. You are not alone.
