"Preventing suicide one heart at a time through serendipitous words of encouragement." When you find one of our hearts we want you to feel loved. The Little Heart Project is people leaving small knit or crocheted hearts with a note of encouragement wherever one goes; whether it be the grocery store, the library, the gas station, your hometown coffee shop or bar, the Empire State Building, or the Great Wall of China. Spread love, spread encouragement, spread kindness. The Little Heart Project was inspired by a similar project in Texas, The Peyton Heart Project, and Kathleen Jensen's own story of depression, PTSD, anxiety and suicidality. On UWL Day of Service, volunteers will crochet and knit hearts, tag hearts, and bag hearts. This project will be seated and indoors.
We will start the day at 9:30am in the Student Union Lower-Level E-Cafe and return at 1pm for lunch and reflection.
