DBSA Ambassador
My name is Francesca Thorn. I am currently a marketing major at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
I chose to become an ambassador for DBSA because advocating for mental health means a great deal to me. My own battle with depression over the years inspired me to use my voice to advocate for teens and young adults that may not have the resources to educate themselves on the struggles they are facing. I want to the stigma around mental illness to die so that more people don’t have to.
Please ask how to you can help me!
I plan on using holding different fundraising events around Temple’s campus to reach my goal amount of $2,000 for DBSA.
Please donate what you can
