I’m not making this fundraiser to raise money. I’m making this because it’s important to me. I want to spread awareness about mental health and addiction. My mother was the sweetest lady you could possibly meet. She was so loving and caring, no matter the situation. She had the most beautiful smile, but you never know what’s going on behind that smile. She had been fighting for so long, and the only thing that would ease the pain was alcohol. There are a lot of people out there who might seem happy with life, but you never know what’s truly going on. Many people think the best way to deal with their problems is to take drugs, whether it’s heroin, Xanax, or alcohol. There is truly no right way to deal with your problems, but I could tell you that hurting yourself isn’t one of them. I just wish more people took this stuff more seriously. Life is not a joke, and you never know when you’ll have to say goodbye to a loved one.

Thank you for visiting the memorial I created in memory of my loved one.
