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.

​

Amit's birthday

Tomorrow will be Amit's 36th Birthday. I want to do something to help other artists who want to be heard, and are struggling to fight playing this game of life to be heard, like he did.

​

What I want to offer

​

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 would LOVE to support you through whatever you need - art supplies, amazon wishlist, food? Whatever you need!

​

What do I need to do?

I don't offer cash.
