My Dad’s Journey: Ending the Silence

Main fundraiser photo
Mark cass!!!! I don’t even know where to start to be honest February 26th 2025 will haunt me the rest of my life. That night I lost not just my father but also my best friend. He suffered from depression but nobody including myself realized how bad he suffered. If you knew my father you knew how hard he worked to provide for his family. That smile of his would light up a dark room. His laugh was contagious. He always looked out for others. I’m not asking for money I’m not expecting anything from a single soul but I just want to get his story out there to as many people as I can. My father worked for memorial for many many years he has seen a lot of horrific things and he has seen people who tried to take their own life and failed. He always seemed so happy he loved us kids and his grandkids more then life itself so that’s how I know just like a lot of people he suffered in silence. BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE ANOTHER NUMBER! Your enough you are loved more then you think depression is a scary thing I guess that’s why they call it the silent killer. Don’t be afraid to reach out don’t be scared to talk to someone. This world is scary enough don’t ever feel like your in this alone. Please!!!! Thank you for reading this ♥️
