Mona Debbs and Emily Saso write messages to loved ones on their helium filled balloons -soon to be released into the sky. (Balloons were bio-degradable eco-friendly.)

We celebrated Int'l Survivors of Suicide Loss Day on November 20, 2021 at The Wellness Center in Stockton.
We lit candles in honor of our loved ones and ourselves, shared moving stories, resources, and wrote messages and let them float high in the sky. Interestingly, they stayed very close together as they rose above us and out of sight. Beautiful.
