Charlie the Anti Suicide Bear was created to support survivors of suicide, Reach Out and Educate People on Suicide Awareness, Suicide Prevention and Mental Illness & Bullying.
The reason for Charlie Bear....I was driving home from work and when I got to Duval and 183 , there were police and EMTs everywhere. I look over and leaned against a tree covered in blood was what seems to be a dead man. It was surreal....i notified the news department at KVUE news and they advised me that the young man was a suicide victim. I want to create the bears for those in crisis.
I am also doing this for my cousin Charlie. He was more than a cousin he was a brother to me. I wish I had known how he was feeling and could have reached out to him or given him something to hold on to when he was at his darkest hours.
