In the hours, days and weeks following Kevin's death I felt completely numb. My heart felt like it had stopped beating, and dispair sat in my veins.

I couldnt bare the thought of another family going through this, I still cant. I have to do something.

So many people just walk past drunks lying on the ground, and so many forget that the human being lying on the ground is someones family and the fact that they could be dead. Someone could be looking for there son, sister or husband. Someone could be sat at home worried sick about where there loved one is, hoping that someone will care enough to look out for them if they get into trouble.

When Kevin was gone, id pray and hope that if hes fallen or collapsed that someone will care for him, because his life WAS important enough. Yes he was a drunk, yes he had an addiction and yes that came with mental health issues - but he didnt ask for it.

So many people forget that alcohol addiction is an illness, and it can be uncontrollable without help. Alcoholics need support, understanding and medical help to get there lives back - and thats why I am raising money for Bethany House, the place who allowed my brother somewhere safe to stay, and a listening ear when he didnt want to bother his family.

Bethany House supported Kevin, and gave him his life back - even for a few months. I cant thank them enough for that, and I want to help other people.

I want to help support the vulnerable people that society forgot about.

Please donate what you can to my JustGiving Fundraising page, in memory of my big brother. He meant the world to me, and I dont want anymore lives to be wasted. Every life is as important as the next. Please help me do what I can.
