Smiles and Songs

This is Samon.




She is a beautiful 14 year old young woman. Her favourite things to do are singing and dancing. She loves the little things in life that we often forget about. She's full of enthusiasm for Thai dancing, painting nails, snapping fingers, ice cream, smiling, Christmas lights, and loud obnoxious actions to a wild and crazy song.
Sometimes however; Samon is not full of smiles. She struggles with concentrating  when given the task of simple school activities or crafts. She often becomes distant and shuts down, letting her mind take control and causing her to get upset. She is not violent, so she takes out her frustration on herself, marking up her arms and face.
She is on the road to gaining more independence, but can't do it alone. She needs to know why her mind makes her upset, and what she can do gain more focus in her everyday life.

This is Samon's t-shirt.



 All profits made from this shirt will go towards Samon seeing a Mental Health Specialist. It will finance her visit to the specialist and then support whatever strategies they reccomend for her to gain independence. This might mean medication for a mental health disorder, or simply things Samon can do to deal with why she is upset.

A short visit to the doctor could change Samon's life in an incredible way. The people around her need to know what she's dealing with mentally so that they can help her in the best way possible.



Keep this beautiful individual smiling.
