I am raising money to assist in the memorial and final expenses for our son.

Brandon was the youngest son of his parents but the 2nd oldest of his mom's four boys.

At the tender age of 6, Brandon began mesmerizing high school gymnasiums while reenacting drum cadences ; note for note from the motion picture 'Drumline' along side his brother who was 8. Later he followed in his uncle's footsteps and learned to play the keyboard by ear. Singing, songwriting and producing soon followed as his passion kicked into overdrive.

In early adolescence, Brandon developed Type 1 diabetes at age 11. Through the ups and downs of his medical journey he endured many hardships which led to high blood pressure as well as stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease. Having CKD and awaiting a kidney/pancreas transplant meant that he had to do dialysis 5 days a week with the love and compassion of his mom, who became his care partner. Together they went through an 8 week training to perform his dialysis treatments at home for more than a year. This process was exhausting for him physically and mentally but we never gave up hope to get on the National Transplant Registry.

A severe case of pneumonia caused Brandon to be hospitalized and during dialysis he went into pulmonary distress which caused cardiac arrest. He suffered a 'Global' anoxic brain injury causing him to never awake from a coma.

I ask for your help to give my baby a memorial service that he deserves. As his mother, I was NEVER prepared for this outcome..

Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness.
