On July 11th, we lost one of the world’s most fearless, brave and radiant souls. Our beautiful friend Malik passed suddenly during an accident while living in Da Nang, Vietnam, far from his family in the US.

If you’re reading this right now, his family, friends and everyone who had the privilege of experiencing Malik’s brightness is working really hard to bring him home to the US.

There are no words to describe the pain of this kind of loss. To lose a spirit who is so full of curiosity for discovering the magic of life is beyond comprehension.

We’re raising money to help Malik’s family bring him home. No parent, family or friend, should ever have to prepare for this. This isn’t just about logistics, it’s about honouring someone who deserved to be held by love in both life and death.

If you knew Malik, you knew how deeply he could impact you, how fast he became part of your story. And even if you didn’t know him, I hope you’ll feel the echo of someone truly unforgettable in the words shared here.

Anything you give will go directly to his family. Every donation is part of the bridge that gets Malik home.

Thank you.

With love,

His friends and family
