Background

My brother ( https://imgur.com/a/DPMyeDz) committed suicide in March 2018. 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. Even when I gave him lists of what to do each day, I guess he was just done with it. I know he appreciated it and he always knew he could depend on me - no matter what the cost. I'm sad that he never could confide in me that he was going to kill himself and was planning it for .. 2 months? And all the help I was giving him, was him just slowly getting his affairs in order. (Turns out he relapsed on his drug/alcohol addiction and was hiding it from us after being clean for 11 years)

I'm lucky that my brother reached out for help to me so I could give him another year of stability, and his last few weeks were full of nice meals at restaurants, a roof over his head, and enjoyment. Unfortunately, he did not trust me with his bigger secret :(

He is an artist, poet and philosopher and here is some of his work ( https://imgur.com/a/4Ycbwjv) If you're an artist - I will definitely help you.

What I want to do

People have a bad few months, weeks, days. It happens. And too often, people don't reach out for help, or at least those that need it. I want to offer help to those and for them to know there is no prejudice at all.

Problems can range from shortage of cash for rent, food, pet food, personal traumas, clothes. You know, the biggest problem of all - is having an ear to listen to your problems. Do you need a friendly voice to listen and chat to you? Loneliness? That's a problem.

There is no problem, too big or small, that cannot be fixed. With sheer determination and willingness, we can all attempt to overcome our personal circumstances.

I want to do whatever I can to help **YOU** - and hopefully my help will ease the burden you're currently dealing with.

What I can offer

I never provide cash, ever. However, I can provide the following:

• Fulfill amazon wishlists within reason
• I can purchase you a basket of food on a grocery site, or you can provide me with a grocery list and I can help
• Are you creative? I will never turn away a creative person! I passionately want to help artists :)
• Are you homeless? I want to help. What can I do to help you?
• Career Advice / Financial planning - I am established in my career and can give you time and guidance
• It's too much - You're very sad and it's crippling:
  • Talk to me. Don't do it alone. A problem shared is a problem halved. Let's skype / hangouts / discord / DM. Tell me what's going on. I may not be able to offer advice on every situation but you'll always have me in your corner.
• I want to educate but can't buy my course on udemy as too expensive!
  • Education is a necessary building block of life and will pay you back manyfold. Tell me what you'd like to learn and I can see if I can gift it to you.
• It's your birthday coming up?
  • Well, hell, that's the best time of year! Tell me about yourself, what you like. I'll send you a birthday card and a little surprise too :) You survived another year - well done you!
