MAYBE YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING, BUT THE WORDS WON'T COME OUT..AND IT'S EASIER TO WRITE IT DOWN AND DROP IT IN THE INTENDEDS BOX. OR MAYBE YOU WANT SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR AN OCCASION LIKE A BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY, ETC. AND YOU CAN DROP A FEW SUGGESTIONS IN THE PROPER BOX OR BOXES.. OR YOU WANT TO LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY, LIKE A REMINDER OF AN APPOINTMENT OR MOM AND DAD DON'T FORGET I HAVE FOOTBALL PRACTICE TODAY. THEN THE INDIVIDUAL/S COULD CHECK THEIR BOX DAILY, WITHOUT NECESSARILY SHARING YOUR THOUGHT WITH THEE ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD..
Constructed of fine woods, oak, cherry, etc..with your choice of brass or antiqued brass hardware...
The tell me box can also double as a compartmentalized documents/receipt box ..A place to have your important papers seperated like policies, car repairs receipts, etc..or treasured keepsakes, like photos... In 3 designs one for wall mounting with hardware, one as a freestanding finely crafted piece of furniture, and one that can sit on a desk, or shelf etc...
THE FAMILY COMMENTS/SUGGESTION BOX COULD COME IN A MULTIPLE UNIT FOR X NUMBER OF FAMILY MEMBERS, WITH INDIVIDUAL LOCKING COMPARTMENTS AND CORRESPONDING KEYS IN DUPLICATE INCASE YOU MISPLACE A KEY.. OR AS INDIVIDUAL BOXES..
THIS COULD SERVE AS A MEANS FOR THAT TEEN WHO IS GOING THROUGH SOMETHING THEY JUST CAN'T TALK ABOUT, BUT NEED TO TALK, IF YOU GET MY DRIFT.. ALTHOUGH IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE TEACH COMMUNICATION THROUGH SPEECH, THEY'RE TIMES WHEN THE ONLY WAY A PERSON CAN GET AN IMPORTANT POINT OR THOUGHT ACROSS IS TO PUT IT IN THE PERSPECTIVE RECEIPTIENTS BOX. THIS COULD BE DUE TO CONFLICTING SCHEDULES, ETC.. SORT OF A SECURE PERSONAL MESSAGE CENTER FOR EACH FAMILY MEMBER...
Additionaly the Tell Me Boxes could be useful for tips to report either anonymously or leave a contact for witnessed crimes or victimization etc.. such as I am a victim of a bully or an abusive parent etc..I am pregnant and am afraid because my ----- is abusive..or I am a victim of domestic violence
The Tell Me Boxes Could be placed in schools/offices/classrooms At police depts. Fire depts. Hospitals, Libraries, Post offices..like the designated safe places in the state of California for infant drop offs for mothers to take their newborns that they are unable to care for.. Instead of careless abandonment..Giving a wide range of places someone could drop a tip or request for help in, without getting caught making a phone call etc. for their own safety..The boxes would be frequently checked and The rules for the boxes to be governed by the proper authorities.
As a victim of rape when I was 14 years old, I can personaly testify that a resource like the Tell Me Box would have helped a very young, shy, terrified teen to get help.I was a teen who's parents were going through a divorce , with a new person living in my home that I didn't trust, so I ran away from home in order to draw attention to my problem.. 36 years later I am still looking for ways to help victims...
I AM A 50 YEAR OLD CHRISTIAN WIFE OF OVER 31 YEARS, MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER, WHO LIVES TO GIVE AND HOPE THAT MY EFFORTS HELP TO MAKE THIS A BETTER WORLD...
