Hi Friends and Family! I’m participating as a first time fundraiser for the annual YES Invest in Youth Event. Please help me raise funds for YES and their mission of helping our youth with mental health. I have a goal of raising $2000 over the next week and a half. I joined the Board of Trustees of YES about 6 months ago and am passionate about changing the stigma of mental health in our community, talking about mental health is GOOD thing. YES was an organization I reached out to during our crisis two years ago and while we didn’t end up working with them, they are one of the few services in the area that provides DBT counseling, the program we went through. AND they offer services regardless of someone’s ability to pay. Who's YES? YES provide mental health counseling, substance use with co-occurring disorder counseling and treatment, early childhood behavioral health services, psychiatric services, school-based services, and education and prevention programs for children and youth, ages birth to 22, and their families in East King County. Throughout these challenging times, our community needs our support more than ever. Together, we have a significant opportunity to create hope for those who struggle with issues such as depression, anxiety, drug use, trauma, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. Every gift makes a difference and will help me reach my fundraising goal. With your donation, children and youth can recover, heal, and thrive.

Hi friends! I'm participating as a fundraiser for the annual Youth Eastside Services (YES) Invest in Youth virtual event on May 6th from 6-7pm to celebrate the resilience of children, youth, and families struggling with mental health and substance use challenges AND to honor Mental Health Awareness Month. I've chosen to support this event and YES because the mental health and well-being of our children and youth is something I care deeply about. As COVID-19 continues to affect our community, young people are feeling more anxious, depressed, and suicidal. Without immediate care, these issues become life-threatening. YES is a lifeline for children, youth, and families in our community! Please take a moment to check out my fundraising page and consider making a gift! Every donation makes a difference and will help me reach my fundraising goal. I've included information about Youth Eastside Services below. With Gratitude, Angela

Hi Friends! I’m participating as a fundraiser for the annual YES Invest in Youth Event, which benefits children and youth struggling with mental health and substance use challenges. I have heard countless stories from young clients who have experienced far more than someone their age should throughout my time working for YES. But I've also heard how they dug deep and found the superpower strength to recover and thrive. Over 50% of the clients we serve qualify for financial support. These young people and their families would not have a chance at recovery if it wasn't for donors like you. Please give whatever you can today and provide ALL children, youth, and families hope for a better tomorrow. Thank you! PS! I have been working very hard with my team to put together the program for our event. I really hope you can join me virtually on May 6, 6-7 p.m., and learn more about youth mental health.

Dear Friends & Family This past year has been an overwhelming time in our world and in our community. With the onset of the pandemic followed by the school closures, most children, youth, and families experienced struggles they never thought were possible. If you haven't felt the impact on your own mental health, I am sure you have seen the effect on the mental health of others in your life. It has certainly made a deep impact on the children and youth in our community, who continue to struggle with isolation, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideations and substance use challenges. As the Chief Advancement Officer at Youth Eastside Services (YES), I am asking you to join me in taking action to assure that YES continues to be strongly positioned to provide the critical support for youth and families, changing lives for the better, and in many cases literally saving lives! I have two things to ask of you. ONE - Please go to our event page and register to attend the Invest in Youth virtual event on Thursday, May 6th, from 6-7pm. It is going to be a a night of inspiration and hope as we celebrate the resilient superpowers of young YES clients. Invest in Youth Virtual event TWO - Make a donation through my personal campaign page to help YES reach, and hopefully exceed our $800,000 fundraising goal! Compared to in-person events, virtual events have a more difficult time raising the same level of support, yet it is more critical than ever with more youth struggling with mental health and substance use challenges. Your support will enable YES to continue to provide services regardless of a client's ability to pay. I have personally kicked off the fundraising for my campaign with a $500 donation, in addition to supporting YES' impact through YES' Champions for Youth Giving Circle. YES Champions for Youth Giving Circle Together, we have a significant opportunity to create hope for the children and youth in our community. Every gift will make a difference and with your support, children and youth can recover, heal, and thrive! Please consider making a contribution today to support children, youth and families. Then, on Thursday, May 6th, see the impact of your investment in our community. With gratitude, -Lisa

Hi Friends, Family, Neighbors! As you likely know I have worked at YES for 30+ years. There's a reason for that. It is because of our vision and mission to equip all youth with whom we work with the skills and abilities to have a life worth living, to walk alongside them and their families in their challenges and sorrows, and to actively assist them in becoming fully themselves and to develop their capacity to belong within and give of themselves to their communities. Add to that striving to do this in partnership with the schools and community and you begin to understand why this Agency is so important to me and why I have contributed so much of my life to it's work. As a smaller non profit we depend on and so greatly value and appreciate each donation of every size. Please be a superhero for us and contribute what you can!

Hey y'all. Tis' the season for donations ... As you may know, community mental health has taken a hit this year due to the pandemic. My position is funded through the Best Starts for Kids levy (vote yes in November) however, that's just one position at YES. The rest of our work is funded differently. To help close the gap, this year, YES has a goal of $800K at their virtual event. They are over halfway there. My goal is small as I know many folks are living tighter this year. If you have the funds and the opportunity to support YES's mission, I'd be honored. Some of my favorite programs are funded through these dollars. Your support would be supporting kids. What we do Youth Eastside Services (YES) is the leading behavioral health services provider in East King County for children and youth, ages birth to 22, and their families. We provide evidence-based mental health counseling, substance use with co-occurring disorder counseling and treatment, early childhood behavioral health services, psychiatric services, school-based services, and education and prevention programs. We help children, teens, and families struggling with depression, grief, trauma, substance abuse, cultural and gender identity challenges, sexual orientation support, anxiety, ADHD, autism, eating disorders, low self-esteem, and much more. Our services empower young people and families to pursue decisions, habits, and activities that promote their well-being.
