To Write Love On Her Arms Official Website
    TWLOHA`s MySpace

    When I was looking for guilds on Gaia, I noticed that there wasn't any
    recognition for To Write Love On Her Arms at all. And that day, I decided
    I was going to start a guild, hoping that people will learn about To Write
    Love On Her Arms (TWLOHA). Hopefully, lives will be changed by this
    movement. Everyone needs to know that they are loved.

    And to clear things up;
    Q.What is To Write Love on Her Arms?
    A. TWLOHA is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope
    and finding help for those struggling with depression, addiction,
    self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire,
    and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery.

    Special thanks to
    Avenorell, itsshachan, re[tard], cheliichan, and KuchikiBerii
    for their donations in getting this guild started.
