You did it. Every. Single. One of you.
By sharing, donating, resharing, and sending love, you saved a life. Corey will walk out of his facility tomorrow with $0 in medical bills after 21 days of inpatient care for suicidal ideation.
We had 284 Fundly donations, 151 Venmo donations, and 19 PayPal donations, totaling in $39,000 in just five days.
While we all banded together for Corey, we also had the unique opportunity to see the heart of humanity in each other, without a shadow of a doubt. Friends, family, acquaintances, and complete strangers shared words of encouragement to Corey and each other over the past five days.
I hope we keep this experience in our hearts as life moves forward. I hope Corey's story uplifts those who need to see more love and encourages strength in those of us who experience mental health disorders. Most of all, I hope Courage for Corey helps all of us remember to check in on our strong friends, be a strong friend for others, and know that those who love us will not waver in the dark.
So let's give our loved ones an extra hug today and celebrate the gift of life and the gift of having Corey in this world. I love you.
