LaVida

Inspiration

The happiness rate is continuously decreasing in the modern world over the years, one of the major problems, as a result, is suicide. Suicide rates are also continuously increasing and one of the ways to prevent them is to provide people with a place to share and connect with people who have gone through those feelings and overcame them.
