"I'm here with you. Close your eyes and I'm holding your hand. You are not alone."
These were the words that Marcus* heard when he reached out to Lifeline in his darkest moment.
Marcus had been facing a lifetime of bullying, from his earlier years at school to his time now at work. It was unrelenting, every single day he came home depleted.
He was losing all hope but that night he reached out to Lifeline and spoke to one of our trained volunteer crisis counsellors at Lifeline Sydney & Sutherland.
For someone in crisis, like Marcus, one phone call can be a lifeline, a beacon of hope. Your generosity can ensure someone is there to answer. It helps provide the specialised training our volunteer counsellors need to support people like Marcus, ensuring that when a call for help comes, there is always someone there to answer.
Right now, someone may be struggling in silence, wondering if anyone will answer their call for help. For someone like Marcus, that one call can be the reason he is given the hope to live.

Nobody should be left without hope.
Right now, too many young adults are struggling with bullying, loneliness and poor mental health. For some, like Marcus*, the pain of exclusion for being different can have devastating consequences leading to suicidal thoughts.
With more than half of Australian teens projected to face anxiety or depression by the age of 201, the need for support has never been greater.
By supporting Wesley Mission Lifeline Sydney & Sutherland, you can help provide trained volunteer counsellors with the specialist skills they need to support vulnerable young people through their darkest moments and give them hope for the future.
Your gift today can help ensure that when someone reaches out for help, just like Marcus* did, their call won’t go unanswered.
Because everybody deserves to know they are not alone. And because no one should be left without hope.
