My littler sister, Kiela Gwin (aka Kiel Ryosei Ronin), died of suicide on February 12th, 2019 when she was only 26. While the years pass, the grief remains and my determination to make meaningful change in our system grows stronger each day. Kiela left behind a legacy of 4 original music albums, beautiful art, scientific papers, and above all a lifetime of genuine compassion for others. She is deeply missed. This fundraiser is about walking in hope with other suicide loss survivors and their families & friends. Hope that by sharing stories like Kiela's we will get closer to understanding and better helping those who struggle with mental illnesses as she did.

The funds raised from this event stay in San Diego to touch lives through two non-profits that work in this field. You can read more about SOSL and Directing Change by clicking on the links at the top of this page.

I appreciate any support you can contribute to my fundraising efforts.

With Hope & Fierce Determination,
Sat
