About Us

Our Story

On May 21, 2015 the world lost a bright light and I lost my father to suicide. Michael Howard Tillotson was a loving husband, father, son, and a great friend to many. He owned his own videography and lighting company called MHT Productions. Mike loved hunting, fishing, and making kielbasa. He was a kind soul who would take the shirt off his back for anyone who needed help.


The idea to start the foundation came almost immediately after. My name is Erica Tillotson, and I am Michael's daughter and the founder of the Michael H Tillotson Foundation.


I knew I wanted something positive to come of this tragedy. As much as I wanted to start this journey right away, I knew that I needed to honor my own mental health and take the time necessary to grieve and begin to heal, so that I could be a better resource for others in the future. 


I can't wait to see all that we can accomplish together!
