In April 2018, my 11-year old son Shane died by suicide after having been bullied... Simply because he loved Broadway theater. I told (and showed) Shane every single day how much I loved him. I cannot help but wonder that had he loved himself as much as he was loved, he would still be here with us today.
Perhaps this was Shane's purpose.
I will spend the rest of my life doing everything I can to ensure that what happened to Shane never happens to another child.
Of all the things I have learned since Shane has been gone there is one thing I know as certain:
If this can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.
I have made it my life's purpose to help kids recognize that they are amazing - just the way they are. Shane's Imagine-Nation helps kids build self-esteem and recognize their great worth. Everyone is a gift to this world.
After all, we are all perfectly imperfect.
Shane's Imagine- Nation is a registered 501c(3) nonprofit organization.
KIND IS THE NEW COOL.
