Background
My brother,Amit, committed suicide last March. In the year prior to his death, he struggled financially, and I spent a lot of time supporting him. This meant rent, bills, food, all of it, and helped him try to get a job. I eventually convinced him to come back home and flew him back (LA to Ireland), and helped him get established, while also paying for a roof over his head. However, it was too much.
He appreciated what we did for him but he decided to end his life and was planning it for some time, despite the support my mum and I provided him. He had a little puppy too that he left behind, Darling, who is now living with her grandmother, i.e. my mum :)
Amit is an artist, poet and philosopher. He is a beautiful person who lived life on his own terms. He is an established artist with successful exhibitions behind him, published poet, and has a Masters in Philosophy with a focus on Nietzsche.
Sometimes people have difficult times, or a bad few months and need to be dug out, without prejudice.
Why today?
Saturday, 2nd March, marks the 1 year anniversary of his passing and my mum and I really want to reach out and help people on this day. We want to make personalised parcels for people to help them and for us to spread the love across the world.
What we want to offer
We want to offer a care package to anyone who needs it. We want to put together little care packages for people who have dogs and cats all around the world. Animals bring such joy to our hearts, and are with us in our happiest and saddest moments, so providing them with joy aswell is so important.
We're also going to share some photos of us putting these care packages together, with help from Amit's dog, Darling :)
We don't know how many we'll send out but we want to try to offer as much as possible to as many as possible! We are based in Ireland so Ireland/UK will likely take priority, but we will definitely be mailing to the US and other foreign countries! Please post regardless and we will help you out some way!
What do i need to do?
Please post the following in the comments section. Direct PM's will not be accepted unless we respond and ask for it directly
- Details of your fur-baby in your life, their name, photo maybe?
- Why are you struggling? What's going on in your life?
- Is there anything in particular you need for your fur-baby? We want to put together care packages, but if there's something particular, let us know
- Feel free to share an amazon wishlist but we may not fulfil this as we really want to put together personalised packages :)
- Anything else you'd like to tell us!
From there, we will respond to your comment to PM and we'll ask for your personal address. We will stop taking request from late Friday PM.
On Saturday, 2nd March, Mum and I are going to go out and buy all the items we need and pack them together, with the aim to mail them on Monday! Look forward to hearing from you! :)
edit: Platinum and gold?! Thank you! I'll have to pass on more good things to help more people now!
edit: Still accepting requests so please keep posting and I'll still be responding
Edit2: All done. Parcels put together and will be mailing over the next week!
