Remembering Tony: A Call for Support

Hi everyone! As some of you may or may not know, my brother Tony has suffered from severe depression for quite some time. He attempted to take his life via gunshot wound to the head on October 3, 2016 and since then has undergone multiple surgeries, hospitalizations and a lot of hard work to come back from it.

However, as much as we always hope that those who suffer from depression can find a way to leave their demons in the past, this is not always the case. Tony had a lot of successes over the past 8 years going back to school, graduating at the top of his class as a respiratory therapist, making the move to Oregon for an amazing job opportunity to do what he loves, and continuing to share his story with others suffering or surviving after being impacted by suicide. However, in spite of that, on November 18th Tony ended his life and lost his battle with depression.

He had an amazing woman in his life and she and our mom have been working hard to financially cover all of the remaining responsibilities left behind but there are still a few more things that need to be paid to completely lay Tony to rest. I am asking for $6,000 to help them do this. If for any reason more is donated, the remainder will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in Tony’s Name.

Thank you!
