MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT & EARLY SUICIDE PREVENTION INITIATIVE ONLINE PLATFORM

“No one ever needs to be alone”

Q: How will LetsConnect change the world?

Through Lifelines, millions of hurting people will find a compassionate listening ear.

My name is Alan Langsford, and I am building this LetsConnect fundraising page in support of the mother of my son, Sophia Athena.

Sophia’s vision is to provide a compassionate listening ear to millions of people in pain through peer support.

Sophia understands the pain of mental anguish and loneliness and despair. In early 2014 she almost died of suicide until she caught a lifeline. Several compassionate online PEER SUPPORTERS connected with her; validated her experience and listened to her.

God through online peer supporters saved her life!

You can read her story here: “Don’t Give Up” (click on the link)

Because of the lifeline she received, Sophia is determined to create millions of lifelines for others. For the millions of people who are struggling with mental pain and despair. By creating an online peer-support platform called LetsConnect.

LetsConnect is a secure and trusted online platform  that provides a compassionate and confidential lifeline through online peer support and counseling services to people who are hurting, marginalized and alone.

It is an early intervention initiative on suicide prevention effort. 

There are nearly a billion people globally who experience isolation and mental pain and despair and every forty seconds someone tragically died of suicide. Sources: WHO, OurWorldInData (click on the links).

With the LetsConnect peer-support platform, no one ever needs to be alone.

Join us in throwing out a lifeline to someone in need!

Q: How will your contributions be invested?

Sophia designed all the system (UX/UI design) for LifeLines, but she can’t code. To turn her design into real product, Sophia has to hire programmers to do the coding work.

The money being raised will be used towards hiring programmers and building the fully functioning website and apps and to pay the technicians to maintain the platform, also to do technical support service for users and to cover other operational expenses.

Please consider donating to build this project and throw out a lifeline to those in need.

I will be grateful for your kind support. Every cent counts.

If you have any questions about this project, about me, or Sophia, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

From the deepest part of my heart, thank you.

Alan Langsford
