When hope seems to be all you have.

This is the reason I started Buttons of Hope and why I continue to believe that these little buttons can change the world.

This today from one of my customers and a member of the Hopepond ~
 

I lost my husband Dameon on 10-16-07 devastatingly, to suicide. I am now raising my young daughter on my own and these last few months have been a complete daze. There aren't enough words to express the emotions and the questions the went and still go through my mind.
  I felt that no one could possibly understand what I was going through and I felt so alone. I decided to try some support groups eventually got involved with AFSP (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention). I learned about a walk called, "Out of the Darkness" that would be raising awareness about suicide and support for others in the same situation.
   I decided to join the walk and came up with a team name, "Dameon's Spirit Lives On". I thought (photo) buttons would be a great way to keep my husband's memory alive as well as raise awareness and funds for this sad but well needed cause.
  Buttons of Hope really put a face to this cause. I can think about Dameon and know that this will help support others in his memory. I know my family and I can proudly wear our buttons during the walk and have a beautiful keepsake as well. Thank you Buttons of Hope.   ~ Jamie Hushower
