Singer/songwriter Christina Perri has designed a t-shirt for To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA), a non-profit organization based out of Orlando, Florida, that is “dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide…[and] exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery.”
Perri, who just a year ago was a divorcee working as a waitress in Los Angeles, has sold roughly 3 million singles to date, and is considered one of the music industry’s most rapidly rising stars. The gorgeous 25-year-old burst into the spotlight with a performance of her single “Jar of Hearts” on Fox’s television show “So You Think You Can Dance” in the summer of 2010, and currently has in “Arms” one of the best songs I have ever heard climbing up the Billboard charts.
On TWLOHA, Perri recently blogged:
“When I was growing up and into the women I am now– I was very sad. I had a little rain cloud over my head + heart and I don’t know why. I was always confused and insecure and felt not good enough, broken, ugly, and different. The older I became the more I learned how to make myself feel better and how to turn my feelings + emotions into poems and songs and eventually fell right into where I belong and started to like myself. It was very slow but it happened. I always wished I could go tell that little version of me that it was all going to be ok and get better and that I am and was in fact beautiful, strong, unique and a bright shining light. What I love about TO WRITE LOVE ON HER ARMS is that’s what they do. they give everyone a chance to feel better now. They provide help + hope + self love + strength + they save lives. I believe in getting help. I believe in not giving up. I believe in TWLOHA.”
TWLOHA has a number of supporters throughout the entertainment industry, including One Republic, Switchfoot, Evanescence, Paramore, Panic at the Disco!, Helio, Miley Cyrus and more.
The organization has also won a plethora of awards, including mtvU’s Good Woodie Award, and are active on twitter and facebook (on which their page has received over 1,000,000 likes). They have also been featured on NBC and multiple other news broadcasts, and have won the USA Today twitter charity campaign. The organization is clearly a resounding success, and each day continues to help those in need. It is easy to see why artists such as Christina Perri are quick to lend a hand in support in any way that they can.
