Yes it’s a real service. I do volunteer work for a rape crisis support service in my city and texting is one of the features we provide as well. But just to boost its credibility, I tried it myself:
reblog to save lives!
You can also text “Steve” to 741741 if you’re a young person of color. The website for more info is stevefund.org
My understanding is that it’s more multicultural and some folks feel more comfy with that in mind!
^^^^^THIS
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used this service once and it’s a God send and I can’t thank the creators enough for this ❤️❤️❤️
