Iʼve raised £180 to begin production of a new, free infrastructure for all

Story
I am a 41 year old man who suffers from social anxiety, depression and ptsd. Throughout my life, I tried to access many places that offered help with depression or other such infrastructure. However, due to my situation at the time, being homeless, I was always turned away with, I'm sorry if you don't have an address we can't help, or the usual red tape excuses. I truly believe that #ImAListener could be a free at the point of contact infrastructure for all to access.
#ImAListener is a 3 dimensional human ear pin badge.
It symbolises that the wearer is happy for any person to approach them to discuss any problems that they may have. A way of 'getting it off their chest'.
The money raised from this page will go directly to the production of the initial 10000 pin badges. All money raised from the sale of the initial 10000 badges will go directly back into production of more badges. Any excess profits will go to help other mental health charities.
#ImAListener could become that free infrastructure needed by so many people worldwide.

2 years agoSo I do wish that my idea could be taken and made the most potential of. Right now I am struggling with my Social Anxiety Disorder and other issues but hoping to be able to do more as I sloy get better. I believe it is a self producing project that could make charity alot of money seen as our Government seems incapable of doing so. Sorry I'm not going to get started. Stay well all and PLEASE help find somebody to make it work

2 years agoSo lately I have been really struggling. So much so that I have twice had to call the local mental health crisis team. I HAVE NOT given up on I'm A Listener by any means. I have however received an email stating that this page will end in 7 days. I have decided that the money raised so far will be reput into the same raising of the same cause. I will do this by rewording and reopening another Just Giving page. I hope this is acceptable to you all and again I wholeheartedly thank you for your help so far. Stay well all.

3 years agoI know its been a while since I have updated. I have been let down again by the system. Dangling treatments / therapy that I can not do. Its as if nobody reads the files on who they speak to. This page will end very soon so I will be, in the new year, having to use the money to try and speak very nicely to the director of the badge company to get, at least, a lot of badges made up to try and get the ball rolling. I will be updating again via Twitter @jkh62 is how I can be found. Thank you to ALL of you, stay well and merry Xmas 🙂🌲

Everyone needs someone to hear them and children more than most, so I thinks it’s a great idea and I just hope you get enough backing to make it a reality. Good luck!
