About
Reasons to Stay is a global suicide prevention project reaching people at difficult moments through anonymous letters written by volunteers from all over the world.
Each letter on this site was written by a real person and delivered to you at random when you visited this page.
This space exists as a reminder that we are not alone, even when it feels that way. There is someone, somewhere who wrote you a letter because they care.
If you’d like to, you can write your own letter to a stranger, offering warmth, hope and connection to someone when they need it most.
This project was designed in memory of Sam West, who took his own life in 2018.
If you’re struggling right now, reaching out to a support service or someone you trust could really help.
