One Father’s Journey to Accept the Unacceptable

People often ask what Stillbrave is about, what our mission is and what drives our Executive Director, Tattoo Tom to always push for more awareness and continuously offering support to our Stillbrave families. Now we have a video that paints a picture of the driving force behind Stillbrave.

3. the More Things Change – the More they Remain the Same

5. Your WORD is your BOND – Your BOND is your WORD

6. ATTITUDE – always be positive and constructive

7. Have the DESIRE to do the best you can

8. Be CONSISTENT in good times and challenging times

9. Continue to LEARN & LISTEN & LISTEN – and its ok to say “I don’t know” and “I need help”

10. Take RISKS – don’t be afraid to make mistakes, that is how you learn and grow
