A second chance is an initiative to help individuals suffering with depression get the second chance at life they deserve.

Depression can be debilitating, often making getting up each day a struggle. Persons facing the challenge of depression may find it very hard to find the energy and motivation to do what they need to do to make ends meet financially. Ofen a person in this situation begins to lose hope and lose a reason to live each day. Over the years Trinidad and Tobago’s suicide rate has become the third highest in the Caribbean and is on the rise again.

Now, on top of these day to day challenges for those experiencing depression, covid-19 has resulted in more job loss, finanical pressures and uncertainty. This has caused a rise in suicidal ideation and risk.

I am fundraising for individuals who have asked to remain anonymous.

Any donations made would go toward therapy, medication, rent and living expenses to help these individuals get back on their feet.
By helping in any way you can, you may just save a life.

We know that not everyone is in a position to help financially so we ask that you share this campaign, that will be a tremendous help.
I thank you in advance for lending a helping hand in this way. Know that your contribution- whether monetary or by sharing the campaign- contributes to spreading hope in this world for those who can no longer find the strength to hope for themselves.

Sincerely,
Simone Da Costa
