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.

​

What I want to offer

​

I want to offer a care package to anyone who needs it. Ideally I'd like to send a care package for artists who are trying to make their mark in the world. Amit pushed through as many boundaries as possible to make his lifes work impactful and meaningful and I want to ensure that other artists, although struggling, can be supported in their creativity. Even if you're not an artist, but use art as a form of escapism, please post!

I want to prioritise personalised care packages to the USA (or amazon wishlists), BUT I'm happy to buy items from amazon/websites for others.

​
