Our brother Dominic died by suicide on January 10, 2018, at the ripe age of 22. After a long battle with his inner self, Dominic no longer felt as if he could find peace on earth. He hid his true feelings and struggles which he felt he had to deal with alone. It is thoughts like these that led him to end his promising life much too soon.  

Unfortunately, our brother's story is no different from thousands of others across the country. No person should ever feel so hopeless or alone to think death is the only option. On average 123 people die by suicide every day, we must work together to end this tragic epidemic. Whether it is making a donation to suicide prevention organizations or being there for a person in need, it is necessary to take action.

All proceeds will go to the AFSP in our brother's honor. Even if our brother's story helps to save one person's life, then some hope can come out of such an awful situation. Let's put an end to the mental health stigma and save lives.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Ellie and Tess Hammes
