I wish this wasn’t real but here we are.

This is my brother, Trieu.

He is really silly, thinks he’s a gangster, is always kissing up to my mom while the rest of us get in trouble, can cook up a storm, is super protective of those he loves, has the biggest, kindest heart EVER - and loves/trust God more than a lot of people I know.

On November 5th, 2018 - he tragically took his own life.

He was a huge part of our family as well as the lives of his loving girlfriend and many, many friends.

Now he’s gone and left a big ol’ hole in our hearts/lives.

*sigh*

Here’s why I’m..... here.

For a long time now, Trieu really wanted to purchase a headstone for his mother’s grave - the person who was his lifeline and the only biological family he knew. Growing up - she kept things afloat with the little money they had and he wanted to honour her in this way.

However, he was unable to afford to do so and was saddened by this.

What we want to do - is honour him for all that he meant to all of us - for his kindness, generousity, perseverance, support, dedication and LOVE... all of that love he had/wanted to give to everyone he met.

We also want to honour is mother on his behalf as a parting gift to both of them.

We are raising money to buy them a combined Stone Marker that will have both of their names, dates, and beautiful faces on - the way he’d want it.

If you would like to donate to this gift - you are welcome to do so here or to contact me privately about other options.

If you do not wish to contribute - thank you for taking the time to read this  and I ask if you would be kind enough to pass our story along by sharing it.

Thank you in advanced for your time/contribution/kindness!


Blessings, peace and LOVE to all of you !
