Story
On June 22, 2020 we lost our kind and lovable brother, son, friend, cousin and uncle, Matthew.
There are no words to explain what the pain we have or the pain he had. Know this...WE can help fight the disease of mental illness by pulling together and helping to break the stigma. Please consider donating to our, Team Matt’s, virtual 5k. Money that we raise will go directly towards Canvas Health and their fight to help others struggling with depression, anxiety and other mental health issues.
Matt was and iron worker in the construction industry as an employee of Danny’s Construction Company, Inc and a member of the Ironworkers Local 512. The construction industry has the highest number of suicides and the highest suicide rate of any industry! We are trying to help break the “tough guy” image so that others will know that it’s okay to ask for help. That self care is crucial. That there is strength in reaching out.
Matt would have been 40 and so my goal is $400 to honor him.
Help us spread this far and wide! You never know who you will be able to help in a time of crisis.
