I am writing from @dukefranky’s mind and not @thegreens because @thegreens is the organization that I founded.
I have traveled with you in that same journey. In 2014, I made some wrong choices and finally landed in my biggest financial mistake that caused me to hurt friends and some family members. In 2015 and 2016, I felt what it means to be really depressed and the only thing in my mind was just to die. I didn’t want to commit suicide but I just wanted to die. I didn’t take phone calls nor talk to anyone. I just wanted to be alone and these were my worst years of my life. I put on a smile seeing my wife and kids but deep within me I felt I was a big betrayal to their dreams and aspirations of being a good husband and father. However, I decided after more than a year of being really depressed to start life all over and today things are really better. When I was reading your story, It was like I was writing it.
We’ve been through a lot and I hope our tough times should be the reason why we work to make the lives of people and the planet better.
Did you know more than 80% of @thegreens volunteers are women? 40% of these women are single Mothers. We believe in women and girls and that’s why we work with them.
