If you’re reading this, I encourage you to call for help.

Call your mom, call your dad, call your brother, call your sister, call your friend… call anyone. Coming from someone who’s been on the receiving end of that call, we would much rather hear this call than not hear from you at all. I am thankful every day that I picked up the phone and answered. That I could be there for my best friend and help prevent the unimaginable.

This artwork is a testament to that heartbreaking night. You are needed here.

Your family needs you here. Your friends need you here. 

And while I may not know you, I need you here.
