Dear Internet,

I’m coming at you with a special issue of AMUN to ask for your help in raising funds for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. It’s that time of year where I beg for money, you give it to me (and write it off on your taxes), and my dollars raised get me a cheap t-shirt.

And I suppose the feeling of doing something good.

This year (like last year and upcomings years), I’m raising funds in memory of my favorite second husband, Brendan McAdams (the selfish bastard). Brendan killed himself on January 10, 2025 and my heart has a 6’2 ginger shaped hole in it. Not a day goes by that I haven’t wanted to talk to him, plan trips with him, or hug him. His death affected me greatly, and he is the reason why I got the caffeine molecule tattooed on my right forearm. Brendan had the same tattoo on his left arm and to me, this is how I carry him always.

Thanks to you and all my donors, last year I raised over $1000 and this year I’m hoping to top it at $1250. I know I can do this, but I need for you to do me a solid and help.

Want more incentive? Today is my birthday!

You can donate two ways:

• Facebook

• AFSP website

And in the grand words of Bartles & Jaymes, thank you for your support.

P.S. I’m still on track to send out the next issue of AMUN in July!
