You Can NOT Be Replaced – www.youcannotbereplaced.com
‘Don’t they realize they can NOT be replaced?’
How do you answer that question when a teen asks you? What if it’s your own child and its the 7th time she’s asked? At the time we weren’t sure, the suicide cluster in our community left us with lots of unanswered questions.
So in 2012, we purchased 500 wristbands that said ‘I Can NOT Be Replaced®’ to pass out to our local teens. Within a week we had a donation for 500 more, a week later another donation….. three years later we have sent over 40,000 wristbands across the USA, Canada, UK and Australia. We are proud guardians of something bigger than we imagined.
Wristbands can be purchased for $3.00 each on the website (no shippingfee to PA residents).
Wristband Instructions:
1. Put on the band with the words facing up so you can read it and know that you are ‘irreplaceable’.
2. Wear it until you see someone that you feel the band is supposed to be passed to: whether you know them or not. This could be tomorrow, next month or a year from now. You’ll know when it’s time.
3. When you do pass it, tell the person something positive about them or life. That one small act of kindness will not ever be wasted and the band is replaceable but the person is not.
4. Come back to youcannotbereplaced.com for another band. Tell us it’s a replacement band and we’ll send you two for one. One for you and another to give.
Go now and pass it on …. You Can NOT Be Replaced!
The Trevor Project – www.thetrevorproject.org
The project was founded in 1988 by the Academy Award-winning filmmakers of Trevor, about a gay thirteen-year-old boy who attempts suicide when his friends reject him because of his sexuality. The filmmakers realized that some of the program’s viewers might be facing the same kind of crisis as Trevor, and not finding a helpline for LGBTQ youth they created one. The Trevor Lifeline is the only nationwide, around-the-clock crisis and suicide prevention helpline for LGBTQ youth.
