I’m Ali and I'm fundraising for Samaritans. From time to time, they've offered me a space to open up, without being judged or fixed. They honour where you're at - human to human.

As part of the fundraiser, I’m sharing a quietly powerful poem of mine, 'Stay a while longer'.

It’s uncomfortable doing this; suicide is still such a taboo subject. But it helps if people like me talk about our experience. We’re the ones who hold the wisdom.

Samaritans are there 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You don't have to be in crisis to call.

Please donate so that people have somewhere to turn. All money raised goes directly to Samaritans.
