On Monday, May 4th, sometime after midnight, my little brother Alex took his own life. My heart is absolutely broken. If you know me or Alex, you know that we have been together since he was born. Alex was my rock in this life. He was my best friend, my biggest confidant, and my little brother. I love him with every inch of my soul and body. Alex was such a sweet, smart, and funny person. Alex had such a big heart. I know that I did everything in my power to help him but the shame of not doing more is unimaginable. These things come out of nowhere. We can only hope that we can help our people enough for this not to happen. But sometimes they do. And right now, I am without direction. I don't know what to do. I cannot voice how much pain I am in.

If anyone who has known him wants to talk, I am here. I will continue to be here.

This fund is to assist in the funeral arrangements and the following days for me and my family. No decisions have been made as of yet. Truly, I appreciate any support that anyone can offer.
