A MESSAGE FROM Max's Fundraising Page
Thank you for considering a donation to my team with Minding Your Mind! My mental health journey started roughly 6 years ago during covid, when I started to experience generalized anxiousness. Over the past 6 years, following a few tragic events including the loss of a best friend, my mental health took a rapid decline. Turning from generalized anxiety all the way to daily panic attacks, depression, and worsening anxiousness. What started minimally, quickly changed, when my mental health started to take over my life, becoming something I had to deal with daily. For a while I had a good mindset about it, but in 2024, all of that took a turn. I started to have suicidal thoughts, and those also turned into an everyday thing. I finally decided in the summer of 2024 that if nothing changed by the new year, I was going to take my own life. By the grace of God, my loving family and community around me, as well as getting help, I was able to get through all of that and ultimately gained the strength to continue on. Since 2025, I have seen a great increase in my mental health, and have had the opportunity to speak at a few different events about my journey and about the importance of seeking help, and knowing that you are not alone. If I can help just one person, it's all worth it. Once again, I cannot thank you enough for your gratitude of considering a donation, thank you so much and God bless!
