My Story…

Thank you for considering a donation to the 2nd Wind Fund, helping provide life-saving resources for suicide prevention. This cause is especially close to my heart. I tragically lost my sweet 12-year-old sister, Bonnie, to suicide. Her memory is the reason I am passionate about supporting organizations that provide hope and help to those who are struggling. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in Colorado, and this year marks the 25th anniversary of the 2nd Wind Fund. Their work provides free/low cost mental health services and critical support to young people and families in need. Thank you for helping support this important cause. Together, we can bring hope, provide help, and save lives—one person at a time. ❤️
