His name was Marius.
He was my son. He was 17. And losing him to su***de changed everything about the way I see people, pain, families and even the world around me.
MMF didn't start because I wanted to run a nonprofit.
Trust me, this was never the plan.
It started because after Marius died, I couldn't stop thinking about what happens BEFORE a family gets that phone call.
What did we miss?
What could we have known?
What could someone have taught us?
What might have helped him?
And what can we do now for another family?
That's where so much of this work comes from.
For the next 15 days, we're going to get a little more personal on this page.
I hope you'll come along with us.
💚 If you would like to help us end the stigma, please consider donating at mariusmaximusfoundation.org. Every dollar goes right back into the non-profit and into providing free services.
