The Before You Go; shirt is more than a suicide awareness shirt. It is a message to the person who may be quietly wondering if the world would be better without them.

Before you go;

Please stay.

The semicolon represents a pause?a moment when the story could have ended, but instead continues.

This shirt was created as part of the Before You Go; campaign to put a simple message of hope into everyday places: grocery stores, schools, workplaces, restaurants, churches, and anywhere someone may be silently struggling.

The back includes a QR code that leads to the Before You Go; page, where someone can find encouragement, hope, and a reminder that their life matters.

You may never know who reads your shirt.

You may never know who scans the code.

You may never know who needed those two words that day:

Please stay.

But sometimes a message doesn't have to be complicated to make a difference.

Wear the message.

Start the conversation.

Remind someone their story isn't over yet.

Before you go; please stay.
