Our hearts are shattered . Last week, our beloved Gaius, a bright and loving 16-year-old son, nephew, brother, and friend, tragically passed away. The grief we are experiencing is almost impossible to bear. In the midst of this profound pain, we are rallying around his immediate family.

We are launching this fund to give Gaius the farewell he deserves and to provide his family with the immediate safety and stability they need to begin healing. Your compassionate support will help cover the essential costs that will allow the family to provide a funeral and memorial gathering to remember Gaius and essentials for the family as they are currently not able to stay at their home. This support will help them take care of each other and begin the long process of healing.

Even a few dollars will help offer a lifeline. Thank you for wrapping your arms around Gaius’s family during this unimaginable time. Please share this campaign with anyone who may be able to help.

With deepest love and gratitude, the family and friends of Gaius
