13 Reasons to FlyI am a 20 year old survivor, advocate, and student. 4 years ago, 13 Reasons to Fly was founded while I was living in a hospital battling mental illnesses, the original idea was to combat the message of the show Thirteen Reasons Why. Instead, 13RTF was created in the image of hope, that there are so many reasons to live- to fly. With your help, we can raise mental health awareness, spread that “it’s okay not to be okay” and make the world a better place. 13 Reasons to Fly also hopes to cultivate conversations surrounding emotional awareness in schools, places of worship, and workplaces.
