One Promise Can Save A Life

• The Power Of A Promise –  Making a personal commitment increases follow-through. The Promise2Live pledge is a proactive step toward mental wellness and support.

• Names Behind the Numbers Campaign – Suicide is often reduced to statistics. We humanize the data, amplify silenced stories. We start conversations that stop the stigma and save lives.

• Multi-Platform Reach – We engage millions through TV, livestreams, Silicon Slopes Monthly Mental Health town halls, social media, and global partnerships.

• Pocket Hug Project – A tangible reminder that no one is alone. We distribute thousands of Pocket Hugs as a source of comfort and encouragement.

• 988 Crisis Lifeline – We ensure people know where to turn for immediate help. We connect people directly to crisis support, including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, so help is always within reach.

This #GivingTuesday, December 2, 2025, the nonprofit Promise2Live is kicking off a life-saving initiative: Hugs for the Holidays, a campaign to distribute 50,000 “Pocket Hug” coins during the 2025 holiday season. Each coin serves as a tangible reminder that “you matter, you are not alone, help is within reach. Every single life lost to suicide is a call to action,” said Brandy Vega, founder of Promise2Live. Our goal is simple but powerful: place a literal token of hope in someone’s hand, reminding them they are seen, valued, and support is just a phone call or a hug away.

Why a Pocket Hug Matters: A coin may seem small, but its impact can be significant: When someone is in a moment of darkness or isolation, a physical reminder can prompt connection rather than silence. The holiday season, although often portrayed as full of joy, can trigger loneliness, grief, and heightened risk.
