A Family’s World Turned Upside Down – Support Needed

Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,
It is with unimaginable sorrow that we share the sudden and tragic passing of Chris, a devoted husband, loving father, and someone whose spirit truly lit up every room he walked into.

Chris leaves behind his incredible wife, Mirela (Miri), and their young children, who are now trying to navigate life without the man who meant everything to them. His death was sudden, shocking, and completely unexpected—something no family could ever be prepared for. His life was tragically cut short due to an unexpected accident, leaving behind his beloved wife Miri our amazing little sister and their beautiful young children aged 10 and 8 years old who can't imagine life without their daddy. No one is ever prepared for a tragedy like this.

About Chris
Chris was the kind of person you couldn’t help but like—whether you wanted to or not. His smile was infectious, his jokes always timely, and his warmth had a way of making you feel like you'd known him forever. He worked tirelessly to support his family, and he loved them with every part of his being.
Now our little sister Miri is left to navigate this unimaginable grief while also trying to manage the sudden financial strain that comes with such a loss.

This is where we humbly ask for your help.
We are raising funds to help ease the immediate burden on Miri so she can focus on raising her children, healing, and finding a path forward in the face of this life-altering tragedy. Every dollar will go toward covering her essential living expenses and anything else her young family needs to stay on their feet in the weeks and months to come.
If you’re unable to give, we completely understand—but please consider sharing this page with others who might be able to help. Your prayers, love, and support mean more than words can express.
Thank you for holding Miri’s family in your hearts during this impossible time.

With love and deepest gratitude,
On behalf of Mirela’s Family
