Merrisa Garrod, daughter of Michael Hawkins, has organized an online silent auction to support the mental health and wellness of our first responders.
My father, Michael Hawkins, spent his whole life serving others as a paramedic while also struggling with mental health. He lost his battle and ultimately took his life last February. My dad was always helping others, and now it’s our turn to do so in his memory!
This event will be in honor of him, and bidding will start on his birthday (2/17) and end on the day he passed (2/25). All of the proceeds will be donated to Revital Colorado. These funds will be used to take a proactive approach on mental health.
There are so many amazing items (seriously something for everyone to bid on), which have been donated to help raise funds. Please check out the items and consider bidding, making a monetary donation or share on social media with others who might want to support this cause. With your help, we can truly make an impact.
