Want to help keep the Peptoc Hotline going?
Within a few days of launching in late February of 2022, the Peptoc Hotline received over 60,000 calls an hour. In its first month, the hotline went on to get nearly 5 million calls from all over the world, reaching people in need of encouragement in every corner of the world.
If you’d like to donate to help keep the Peptoc Hotline going, there are a couple of ways to do so. First, you can visit West Side Elementary’s fundraising page for information on how to donate via PayPal, cash, or check. You can also contribute to the project’s GoFundMe page.
Any additional funds will go to support West Side Elementary’s enrichment programs, which were cut by 75% during the pandemic.

More schools have to do this! Such a cute idea 🙂
I called. Automated greeting says mailbox is full. I verified that the number I dialed is correct. Eeesh.
Hey Daniella! So sorry for the confusion. It looks like the numbers we had listed didn’t match. This has been updated, and I did test it out and was able to get through – if you’d like to check back! 🥰
Love this! What a wonderful blessing to share with others. Thank you!
You’re welcome! 🥰
