    Stay tuned....

    We did it!

    Thanks to everyone who has supported the 10th Anniversary DVD of "Daughter of Suicide". We made the goal with time to spare!

    If you are here because you'd still like to support my efforts, don't be shy.... donate! You are basically pre-paying for a copy of the DVD at a discounted rate. The money will go into future plans for "Daughter of Suicide" -- I'm thinking seriously of putting together a grass roots screening tour later this year....

    In the mean time, watch this space for further updates. Once the campaign window has closed I'll be hard at work putting together the DVD and preparing to ship copies to all of you!

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Your support for "Daughter of Suicide" means a lot to me!

    All my best... Dempsey

        Dempsey,
        You are an inspiration to so many. I am grateful to have this opportunity to help back your project. Your story needs to be told and retold so that the pain, guilt, anger and shame so many families have lived with for so long can be diminished and your strength, in turn, can strengthen them.

        I wish you success.
