He had lived a long and full life, a veteran of WWII, married for many decades, many had 16 grandchildren and I am one of a known 33 great grand children.
Today I will be in Flint with my family mourning the lose and the end of a long life. As people know me I am very passionate advocate for LBGT and youth mental health. From being award the Jed Foundation Award, for my 2 years of Project Light work. Additionally annually walking as with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention which you too can join in walking, advocating or donating to.
To this day wearing my Trevor Project star on my blazer no matter where I go to start dialogues of prevention. for years youth suicide a fully preventable matter has been a passion of mine. I am asking for people to while giving their prayers, blessings and more to considering making a donation to prevention for the leading cause of death for youth like myself who are gay (me) lesbian bisexual transgender.
Over the years I have attempted suicide, and spoken my story as the founder of Project Light which recently merged its membership into Trevor Project. I have seen hundreds of fellow members of my community some very very close to me who have attempted, and some who have been lose to this preventable matter that your donation of any size today could help a youth or several youths life turn to be 93 and live full long lives.
