Doro's InStill Fundraiser

Dear Friend,

I’m writing to share something deeply personal and ask for your support for a program that quite literally helped save my life. Seven years ago, I lost a very close family member to suicide. The shock and trauma of that event tore through my world, and despite having decades of meditation and mindfulness practice under my belt, I found myself slipping into a dark place. I numbed my pain with alcohol and carried a death-wish I didn’t know how to shake. My practice, once a refuge, felt empty without a community to help hold me.

That’s when I turned to the Instill Mindfulness Program which I had recently learned about. Through their daily online meditations and InSpire support groups, I found the kind of compassionate presence and consistent support I had been desperately needing to keep me grounded. These weren’t just meetings—they were lifelines. Being in a space where I could show up exactly as I was, in grief and confusion, and be met with understanding, helped me stay afloat when I wasn’t sure I wanted to.

Over time, the program became more than just a place to process pain. It became a space of growth, healing, and connection. I met like-minded seekers and practitioners who understood the deeper spiritual journey we’re all on. Together, we’ve cultivated mindfulness not just as a practice, but as a way of living with awareness, kindness, and purpose. I honestly don’t know where I’d be today without the support and community I found through Instill.

If you feel moved by this story, I invite you to contribute to our fundraising campaign. Your donation will help sustain and expand the reach of Instill’s programs, ensuring that others who are struggling can find the support they need. Thank you for considering—your generosity could make all the difference in someone’s life, just like it did in mine.

With gratitude,
Doro
