At The Butterfly Effect, we believe it is important to give back. We want to make a difference-but we need your help. That's why we've decided to provide you with a list of charities detailing exactly what they do. It's an easy way to decide which charity to give back to and which way you want to make a difference. We will also be choosing one charity to feature each month where we will donate $10. It's a small amount, but every dollar makes a difference. We encourage you to join us in the $10 challenge too. Will you help us? More importantly, will you help others?

What we do

Whatever you’re facing, a Samaritan will face it with you

Every day, Samaritans volunteers respond to around 10,000 calls for help.

We’re here, day or night, for anyone who’s struggling to cope, who needs someone to listen without judgement or pressure.

Samaritans is not only for the moment of crisis, we’re taking action to prevent the crisis.

We give people ways to cope and the skills to be there for others. And we encourage, promote and celebrate those moments of connection between people that can save lives.

We offer listening and support to people and communities in times of need.

In prisons, schools, hospitals and on the rail network, Samaritans are working with people who are going through a difficult time and training others to do the same.

Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide.

That’s why we work tirelessly to reach more people and make suicide prevention a priority.

Why This Charity?

Paper Towns is a book that leaves us thinking and wondering the worst, which is why it's always important to have an outlet or tools at your disposal as a teenager. Suicide rates are rising, which is why charities like these need our help more than ever, every life matters.
