Fetterman Email Screenshot: Hi All of us on Team Fetterman are incredibly proud of John for coming forward with his struggles with depression, and we're thankful he's getting the care that he needs. Millions of people struggle with depression every day, and too often, people don't reach out for help. Seniors, veterans, and millions of people who face the stigma that comes with addressing our mental health can go years without getting needed mental health care. We're glad John is setting an example for all of us and we hope that his bravery will encourage people around the country who need help to seek it, too. In this moment, we'd be really grateful if you would split a donation between the National Alliance on Mental Illness and the Pennsylvania Mental Health Consumers' Association. 100% of your donation will go directly to these charities. Their work remains as impactful as ever. Thank you, Team Fetterman <3
