I am reaching out with a heartfelt request for your support in our 3rd Annual Suicide Prevention and Memorial Walk, held in loving memory of my daughter, Zoenika Marie. This event not only honors her memory but also aims to address a critical issue that affects countless families.

Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death among teenagers, and mental health issues often go unrecognized or untreated. Many young people struggle to communicate their feelings due to stigma, lack of support, or misunderstanding. The societal pressure to conform and excel can further exacerbate these challenges, leading to isolation and despair.

There is an urgent need for safe, accessible spaces where teens can talk about their mental health without fear. This walk is not just a memorial; it's a call to action. By participating, you help create those vital spaces and support programs that make a real difference.
