Charlie the Anti Suicide Bear and Leather Bear Productions

The reason for Charlie, I was driving home from work and when I got to Duval and 183 , there were police and EMTs everywhere. I look over and leaned against a tree covered in blood was what seems to be a dead man. It was surreal....i notified a local news department and they advised me that the young man was just a suicide victim. I created Charlie for those in crisis. I am also doing this for my cousin Charlie. He was more than a cousin he was a brother to me. I wish I had known how he was feeling and could have reached out to him or given him something to hold on to when he was at his darkest hours. The ideal of Leather Bear Productions and Charlie the Anti-Suicide Bear is to promote a positive image of the Leather Bear lifestyle.
