This is a true story of Matt “Magou” McGuirk who is our original Straight Up SolGier.
He kept his demons inside and turned to drugs to try and erase his feelings and pain. At age 11, he started experimenting with marijuana. In 2011 he died of an accidental drug overdose at the age of 31. He was in and out of rehab and came to realize he finally needed to come to terms with what happened to him as a boy. When he finally started talking about his abuse, others would reassure him of how brave he was as a little boy. He wanted to write a book and tell other victims to talk about their abuse so they didn’t turn to drugs like he did. Matt designed the SolGier logo around the year 2007. He was a spiritual person; he spelled SolGier with a capital “G” for God and made it look like an arrow going straight up. He also stated that, “the meaning of straight up was standing up and facing his predator to keep him from hurting others.
Our purpose is to raise funds for the counseling and assistance for local children and adults who have been sexually abused. Our focus is to provide funding when a child or adult cannot afford or has no adequate insurance to get the much needed counseling. We also hope to educate the community on how to help these children & adults and “why” they must care!
