A STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF ONE FOUND SHEEP

Hello!

​

It's come to our attention that a number of individuals in the community have asked questions and risen concerns about what One Found Sheep is. We would like to take a moment and apologize for any confusion about the nature of our group, and would like to explain a little about us.

​

We are One Found Sheep, a group of members of our local community who are teaming together to bring a message of hope for the lost and found. For some time now, we have met more and more people in our community who are suffering in silence from a number of issues that are facing us today, whether that's suicide, anxiety, depression, or any other struggle. We couldn't stomach sitting idly by while our community hurts, and so we made a commitment together to do something to be a part of the healing process in our community.

​

This past week, we have been working to start building awareness to our Instagram. The intent of our social media content was meant to build curiosity; however, the vague nature of our posts ended up building that curiosity but not in a way we would like to be viewed. We have now seen that a number of our posts were blown out of proportion and made to cast our group in a negative light. We want to calm any concerns about who we are or what our intentions are by stating this:

​

One Found Sheep and its current social media presence is focused on raising suicide awareness and bringing to light challenges that people are suffering through in silence. We want to make known that you are not alone nor do you have to suffer through what you're going through alone.

​

We'd like to take a moment to thank city officials and local authorities for their continued efforts to love our community and serve it well. We would also like to thank Take Ur Seat Restaurant for graciously opening up their space to allow a conversation about issues in our city and sharing a heart for our town. We will continue to move forward with our plan to meet this Thursday as we have discussed on social media. All are welcome to attend and I will personally make myself available to answer any questions you or your loved ones may have. In the meantime, any further questions can be directed via direct message on instagram or routed to:

​

Thank you and know that you are not alone in whatever you're going through.

​

With love!
