Mike Failace

Sadly, on May 9, 2024, the demons that have been chasing Mike Failace finally caught up to him resulting in taking his own life.  Mike’s mission and passion will continue not only on The Suffering Podcast, but with crystallizing the mission of Dented Development Project.  Mike and Kevin only wanted to help those in need. 

Shortly after Mike Failace‘s passing, those around him felt hopeless. The phrase not today began to fill the head of Kevin Donaldson.   Thinking that if his partner would have just said that to himself during the dark moments, he would still be here. The not today campaign is designed to give those in the darkest of places a little hope to outlast one more day. With one more day, the world could change and often that’s all we need.
