Donating Daniel's Birthday
Donation protected
Anyone that knows Dan knows that he had been battling depression for a long time and he took his own life on 10th October 2016. He was a very sensitive and caring lad and would do anything for anyone.
On the 8th April it would have been Dan's 23rd Birthday and I've been trying to decide on something to do for it in his memory.
I had planned to donate the money I would have spent on his birthday present to 2 charities that have been a huge help to us over the last few months so thought I would ask all of his family and friends if they would like to make a small donation so that we could help out these charities in Dan's memory, I think he'd really like that.
One is called Pauls Place, its a counselling service that's been set up specifically for people bereaved by suicide. They provide free long term support and only launched late last year so they need all the financial support they can get to keep helping other families like us. They don't get any government funding so rely on fundraising and donations to be able to keep the service running.
The other is SOBS (Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide) which is a support group set up for the same purpose and Me and Hayleigh have been attending it for the last year and have met some amazing and inspirational people through it and made some lovely friends and as of next month I will be helping at the group as treasurer.
All donations will be greatly appreciated no matter how big or small, it all adds up and will be going to 2 very worthy causes.
Thank you xx
