Be The One

Updated: Sep 3, 2025

A year ago, I didn’t know that September was Suicide Awareness Month. What a blissful naivety that was.


It’s remarkable how quickly life can change—in a day, a week, a month, and now almost a year. We often live in our own little bubble, unaware of certain struggles until that bubble is suddenly popped. My hope in sharing this is to encourage you not to wait for your bubble to burst. Pop it yourself.


Learn more. Be more. Support the organizations working tirelessly to end suicide, hunger, injustice, and suffering in all its forms. Stretch your heart to grow in kindness, empathy, and love for other humans.


In a world where violence is glorified on screens and morals often seem to slip away, you can choose to be the light. Be the one who cares. Be the one who supports. Be the one someone knows they can talk to.


This month and always, let’s honor Suicide Awareness Month by being intentional about how we show up for others. It could change, or even save, someone’s life.


At Suzie Sews Sunshine, 100% of proceeds are donated to suicide prevention efforts. Every apron, smock, or handmade gift carries with it a stitched reminder of hope and light. Together, we can make a difference—one kind action, one conversation, one stitch at a time.

Suzie Sews Sunshine Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Arizona that combines creativity, community, and compassion through sewing education and handcrafted goods. Our mission is to spread hope and sunshine while supporting suicide prevention efforts through outreach, education, and service.

We offer sewing lessons for children, teens, and adults of all skill levels in a welcoming and encouraging environment. Students learn sewing basics, fabric knowledge, machine skills, and creative project construction while building confidence and practical life skills. Whether you are brand new to sewing or looking to expand your abilities, classes are designed to inspire creativity and connection.

In addition to sewing lessons, the foundation creates handmade aprons, children’s and baby clothing, accessories, home goods, and other sewn items. Some products are created using repurposed and upcycled materials. Every purchase supports our mission, with proceeds helping fund suicide prevention awareness and outreach efforts.

At Suzie Sews Sunshine Foundation, we believe every stitch can spread a little more light, kindness, and hope into the world.
