| 0:00.0 | Weird Darkness is celebrating our birthday this month. We use this annual celebration to help those |
| 0:04.7 | who struggle with depression. Every October, we raise money for organizations that help people |
| 0:09.3 | overcome depression, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide and self-harm. It's called Overcoming the |
| 0:14.8 | Darkness, and you can make a donation right now at weirddarkness.com slash hope. That's weirddarkness.com slash hope. |
| 0:23.1 | A gift of any amount helps, with every dollar bringing hope to someone affected by depression. |
| 0:28.1 | To donate, to get more information about overcoming the darkness, or to find hope to battle back |
| 0:32.9 | the darkness of depression in yourself or someone you love, visit weirddarkness.com |
| 0:37.4 | slash hope. |
| 0:38.6 | The fundraiser ends on Halloween night at midnight, so please give right now while you're |
| 0:43.8 | thinking about it. That's weirddarkness.com slash hope. We all know someone who struggles with |
| 0:49.4 | depression, whether we're aware of it or not. It's something those who suffer tend to deal with |

| 1:08.8 | of depression and live normal lives. |
| 1:11.8 | I do this fundraiser only one month out of the year, as October is the anniversary month for |
| 1:16.7 | weird darkness. We launched in October 2015. It's National Depression Awareness Month, and this |
| 1:21.8 | month is spooky and dark, kind of like depression. If you'd like to make a donation or learn |
