Over the years, there are many of us who have become all too familiar with suicide. Either we have known someone who has taken their own life, and we have been adversely affected by their tragic loss; or we ourselves have felt the all too alluring tug of the promise of relief from our suffering that suicide seems to offer. As a person who has felt both the tremendous loss of another through suicide; and as a person who has tasted the varied and bitter flavors of despair, and wanted to go... I am here still because life (as so many will tell you) gets better. It may take time (for me, it took years) but it was so worth it to hang on, to dig in with that last unbroken piece of tooth, grab with that last ripped and bleeding nail, shed those last leaking tears... Life will eventually be precious again, if you hang on with everything you have got... There are people out there who understand and care for you - and I am one of them. <3
Welcome, honored guest, to our site!
We are starting slow and will continually add new material. We will eventually have several pages of shopping available, so please visit often to see what's new!
As I looked around me at this world I live in I fought off despair, because there are so many in need for one reason or another, and I knew I could not help them all, despite my willingness. Therefore, I came up with a plan for a web-site that could benefit many non-profit groups for many different causes I believe in. The goal of TWI-ME is to assist 501(c)3 groups with needed funding, though we are in no way affiliated with any of these groups. I simply wanted to find a way to help, and this was the way I could manage to do it without going sane... :-)
For instance, proceeds from the sale of the Cuicyde Cricket shirts we have available now, will benefit Suicide Prevention Causes, and the "Rear View" shirt will benefit families who have had a family member injured or killed in a motorcycle accident.
So, enjoy your shopping experience with us, knowing that you are also helping us to help others.
That Which Inspires Me
Under Construction - Soon to come; A Heart Of Gold...
It wasn't long ago I took a bike ride with a friend named Tanner. That ride was all a bike ride is supposed to be, fun and exciting, with the added feeling of freedom mixed in, as the sun shines on your faces and the wind plays with your hair. Unfortunately, a few weeks after this short ride, Tanner was on another ride that he didn't walk away from. He lived, though many do not, with tremendous injuries, and even greater expenses. It has taken a toll on his family as well as himself, and as much as I would have loved to assist - at the time, I was unable. Therefore, proceeds from this shirt will be donated to assist families who have experienced such tragedies (and worse). As a side note, I do not recommend riding without full gear on - the lady depicted on the shirt is a fantasy...
