A MESSAGE FROM Daniela & Gabriela Cáceres - fundraising for mental health awareness!
Growing up in Honduras, the words “mental health” were never used in school, nor with friends, nor with family. In reality, we didn't even know what these words meant until we moved to the US. We were no strangers to the word suicide, however, having had friends and schoolmates become victims of it. And yet, mental health was never spoken of. To this day, speaking about mental health remains a taboo, globally. Not just in Honduras. 

Having had our own struggles and ongoing battles with mental health, along with overcoming our fears and insecurities, we realize the importance of talking about this topic. The importance of seeking help, of making people feel less alone in their struggles, and of ultimately coming together in the realization that it's okay not to be okay every second of every day as we navigate the questions of who we are, who we want to be, and where we are all going. 

While therapy might not be accessible to everyone, we also believe in the healing power of sharing your story with even just one person. As sometimes all you need is one person - be it a stranger or a friend - to make you feel heard and seen. 

For this to happen, however, we must normalize the conversations around mental health. And so, we have teamed up with Hope for the Day and will run 26.2 miles in October of 2023 to support this cause that we strongly believe in with the hopes of making an impact and raising awareness in the efforts of making even one person feel less alienated in their mental health journey.

En Honduras, no es común escuchar las palabras “salud mental” en la escuela, en la casa o en conversaciones con amigos. Realmente, comenzamos a comprenderlo mejor cuando llegamos a vivir a los Estados Unidos. Por supuesto no éramos ajenas a la palabra suicidio, ya que tuvimos amigos y compañeros víctimas. Aún así no se hablaba sobre ello. A la fecha, hablar sobre salud mental continúa siendo un tabú en todo el mundo, no solamente en Honduras.

Nosotras atravesamos nuestras propias luchas con la salud mental. Al trabajar por superar nuestros miedos e inseguridades, nos dimos cuenta la importancia de hablar sobre ello. La importancia de buscar ayuda y poder ayudar a quienes se sienten solos en su camino y sobretodo unirnos para normalizar que está bien no estar bien todo el tiempo. Que está bien cuestionarnos quiénes somos, quiénes queremos ser y hacia dónde vamos.

Sabemos que acudir a terapia no es accesible para muchas personas, por eso creemos en el poder de compartir nuestra historia para ayudarnos a sanar. Muchas veces, solo necesitas una persona, ya sea un extraño o un amigo, que te haga sentir escuchado y visto.

Para lograrlo, debemos normalizar tener conversaciones sobre salud mental. Así que hemos decidido correr 26.2 millas en octubre de 2023 por esta causa en la que creemos profundamente. Esperamos generar un impacto y crear conciencia a través de esta iniciativa.
