Common card · No. 406519

To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA) is an American nonprofit organization that aims to present hope for people struggling with addiction, depression, self-injury and thoughts of suicide, while also investing in treatment and recovery. They are based in Melbourne, Florida, and seek to connect people to mental health treatment resources. To Write Love On Her Arms was founded in 2006 by Jamie Tworkowski. Its name was taken from the title of a short story Tworkowski wrote about his experience with a young addict who self-harmed by cutting the words "FUCK UP" on her arm with a razor blade. Tworkowski and a group of friends stayed with her after she was denied treatment in order to "be her church, the body of Christ coming alive to meet her needs, to write love on her arms".
