WARNING: This post discusses suicide.
Denton County LOSS Team is doing such important work for families who have lost a loved one to suicide. While it sounds gruesome, the team is doing the very important and compassionate work of paying for clean up after a family’s loved one dies by suicide.
This is something you don’t have to think about until it tragically happens to you and your family. The team is located in Texas where the #1 method used in suicide is gunshot wound. It can cost more than $3,500 to get a proper biohazard cleanup after something as horrendous as a suicide takes place. Often this is inside a family’s home. Not surprisingly, many families are not in the proper head space to be able to coordinate something like a proper clean up. They also are vulnerable to be taken advantage of at such a difficult time. This is where TEAM Deanton comes in, coordinating and paying for cleaning services.
Their mission and story touched our founder, Richard Rogers, who lost his own father to suicide more than 40 years ago. See Richard share the good news that Just One More Foundation is granting TEAM Denton a generous award so they can continue to help more families.
