My name is Taylor and I lost my little brother James when he was only 12 years old.  I came home from school one day and he was in my parents room.  He had taken his own life.  This event was not only devastating to our family, but changed my life forever.  It's estimated that one million people die every year from suicide. 

I am 28 years old now and dedicated to helping others who may be going through the same thing.  I know one thing that brings so much joy is a "Festival".  My plan is to bring in bouncy houses, food, entertainment, and lots of positive people to encourage one another.  I would like to do this event this summer, while all the kids are out of school.  I already have the location available and now need to fund raise to do this project!  This weekend day will be lots of fun for everyone!  Please help me raise the $4000 I need to do this - help make a difference in our community!  You will be helping save lives by providing them with a place where they can stop hurting.  Any funds remaining will be given to a local suicide prevention organization.
