Travis "Rowdy" Moody

You never think it will happen to you...to your family....to your baby brother....except sometimes it does. My little brother, Rowdy, has been battling his depression for the past several years. Sunday evening Rowdy attempted to take his life. We have been with him at Children's Medical Center since that time. He has suffered traumatic brain injury and will not recover. At this time, we are praying for God to gift Rowdy the ability to save others' lives through organ donation, as this process has many specifications for candidacy.

When Rowdy's time on Earth is through, I want my mom to have as much peace and closure as possible without the added grief of medical and funeral expenses. Any contribution will be greatly appreciated. Please keep Rowdy, my mom, and our entire family in your continued prayers. Envision Rowdy's organ donor candidacy coming to fruition, and all the lives his tragedy can transform.

Please be aware that depression is a very serious, sometimes silent, disease. It can affect every race, gender, and age. Every life is precious and every out cry for a suicide attempt should be taken seriously. If you or a loved one suffers from depression please seek help.
