Content Resources for The Circle of Willis
The Circle of Willis explores several several themes, including the sense of hopelessness, of wanting to end your life, and domestic abuse. If you or anyone you love is dealing with these issues here are two potentially life saving resources:
- National Domestic Violence Hotline
Phone Number: 1-800-799-SAFE / 1-800-799-7233 or TEXT: START to 88788
Website Link
- National Suicide & Crisis Line
Phone Number: 988 (If you are a veteran press 1 after 988).

Periodically posting these numbers on your social media sites may help another struggling human being find a way out of darkness. We are in this journey together, let's extend lifelines when we can.
Donations to trusted organizations are another way to help causes we believe in. By going to Charity Navigator (one of the nation's most-utilized charity evaluator & a 501c3 Nonprofit) you are able to see dollar for dollar, the percentage that is actually given to the organization. I have culled the list here to address some of the topics, themes, in my novel.
All these organizations have a four (out of four) star charity rating:
- The Disabled American Veterans (DAV)

- American Society for the Prevention off Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)
