SPECIAL DELIVERY had so much fun being excited and scared at same time as I picked my way through back allleys and paths during LA lockdown to deliver6 meals prepared by Kaitlynn. Wasn’t sure if I was more afraid of police or potential muggers as I weaved my way to a highway underpath at #110 and Lincoln where homeless were greeted to 6 course meal a la concrete . My only real mistake was I forgot my mask . Oh well.

PAYTON BUDD. June 09 1998-2017 April 30th MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES DONT DISCRIMINATE Just because you dont live in a big house doesn't mean you are immune Just because you aren't divorced doesnt make your family is immuned Just because you live in a nice house doesn't make your family immune... Just because you have 3 kids and they're all girls doesnt make you immune Just because you are home from work by 5pm doesn't make your family immune Just because you go to church doesn't make you immune Just because your kids are doing well in sports doesn't make you immune Just because your kids are doing well in school doesn't make you immune Just because you are wealthy doesnt make you immune Just because you aren't wealthy doesn't make you immune Mental illness can strike ANYWHERE and affect ANY FAMILY. Join me in my quest to reduce mental health issues and maybe save someones life.

Dillon Thomas Budd : You are missed by many. Words or Tears are never enough to express the love I have for you. August 2, 2001 to April 10, 2015. Now 5 years . I hope you have found Payton's soul. I ache for you both .

5 years ago now since Dillon took his life. No further words are needed or are even useful on a day like this .

I am pleased to once again sponsor this great event that focuses on incresing mental health awareness and reducing the stigma asssociated mental health issues. It is hard not hiding as I too have had to battle various mental health issues but have learned to admit them and share as way to heal ,recover and regain peace of mind and joy.
