The People behind Pleaze

This will be one of the most important posts I will ever share. Without these people I am nothing and Pleaze ceases to exist. In no particular order, here are the people who contributed to making an idea turn into a reality.

Oliver Zimmerman: The brains of Pleaze. I am privileged to call Oli my partner. Initially, Oli offered to develop Pleaze for nothing in return- a testament to your character. Beyond your gift to develop applications, you are a special human. Thank you for believing in me.

Aoife O’Driscoll: One of the first to know about Pleaze. You are the reason I got accepted into Social Entrepreneurs Ireland. Thank you for all help with spelling & grammar.

Gary Lewis: My father who never gave up on me. Thank you for challenging my ideas which ultimately led to further features that are available today.

Frankie Lewis: My dear mother, thank you for being there every step of the way.

Michael Lewis: Financial injections and a source of calmness and positivity do not go unnoticed.

Scott Dagg: A talented photographer. I got in contact with Scott to shoot a documentary on my life. Within hours, he was ready to go. It wasn’t long until I could call you a friend. 

John Cunningham: Always a phone call away to assist with any technical difficulties. Thank you for kicking off the Pleaze designs.

Ben Shanahan: The man who took the vision and made it into the design you see today. Thank you for providing your expertise.

Social Entrepreneurs Ireland: When I had no belief in Pleaze, you did. Thank you for guiding me forward.

AA/NA & My Sponsor: When I had nothing and no one, you were there. You have shown me how to live, and stay sober one day at a time. Grateful doesn’t cut it.

Michael Woods: The definition of recovery. Thank you for being the beacon of light I needed when I was in the chains of addiction.

Justyna Flynn: When I felt as if nobody cared and alone in this world, you were the one person I could count on. Thank you for being there with me.

Dr.Sam Van Eeden: When I think of how we should treat mental health issues, I think of you. Thank you for changing my life.

Instituto Dr. Scheib Majorca: After 2 weeks of intense treatment here, I finally wanted to live. Thank you for providing me with the best care I have ever received. You set an incredible example of how to treat mental health issues.

Ray Mordt: Thank you for being a consistent role model throughout my life. You have always believed in me. Your words of wisdom are never left unheard.

Grace Dooley, Anna O’Connell, Alisha Sullivan, Barry JOG, Hazel Dineen, Martha O’Byrne, Ella Neary, Taylor Gillespie: Friends people only dream of having, thank you.
