In 2003, my good childhood friend Jeremy passed away at the age of 25 due to complications with a brain tumor. He was one of the nicest, most selfless people we knew. Recently, his brother Jim contacted me and asked if I would help him with a project. He had found an old drawing Jeremy had done, and was wondering if I could arrange to have t-shirts made from the design.
He wanted to donate all profits to the New York State Chapter of the Advocacy Resource Center, where Jeremy used to work. The Arc has been helping individuals with disabilities since 1950. I told Jim that I would be delighted help remember Jeremy, as well as raise money for such a good cause. I decided to set up merchandise in my Donkeyshines Jr. store, where I could sell the design on many different products, including apparel for men, women and children, as well as accessories, such as canvas bags and iphone cases.
