“Peptoc Hotline features pre-recorded life advice and encouraging messages from the students at West Side Elementary, a K-6th public school in rural Healdsburg, California. Within a few days of going live in late February of 2022, the hotline went viral on social media, was covered by all major press and news stations, and received over 60,000 calls an hour.  Within one month, the hotline received almost 5 million calls from all over the globe. The hotline has deeply touched millions in a very dark time in the world, as we navigate tragedies such as the pandemic and the war in Ukraine.  People have sent us letters from all over the globe–from cancer patients, to emergency ward staff, to kids who needed a pick-me-up after a difficult day.”
