Aid for Rose: for Austin’s Celebration of Life

Hi everyone,

As some may know; Austin was very sick in the hospital with multiple organ failure and sepsis for over two months in Texas.

He needed a liver transplant to survive. By Gods grace, one became available, and it would be held for him after the infections cleared, and he was strong enough to endure a procedure like that.

Unfortunately he grew weaker as Rose was told that they had run out of treatment options . Understanding that Austin could not survive without multiple lifesaving measures, Rose enlisted hospice to emansepate the child she had raised of the pain and suffering she was powerless over, and comforted Austin until this battle was over.

On 12.31.24, Austin went to be with the Lord, with his mom and stepdad Bob right by his side. Rose resides in California, having to make multiple long, trips between states to see her son. This travel kind of travel is very expensive, and while Rose is grieving the loss of her child, trying to tie up Austin's personal affairs in Texas, and to try memorialize Austin here in California for his friends and family. The last thing Rose needs right now is additional financial burdens with so much grief, so I made the decision to help Rose, which would be so honoring to Austin

To know Austin, is to love him. He was easy to love and be around. His funny yet dry humor, big heart, and loving personality will continue to be missed tremendously.

My name is Olivia. I’m a close friend of Austin’s, going back to our days of middle and high school. I am creating this GoFundMe on Rose’s behalf.

If you feel inclined to donate for Austin’s celebration of life it would mean the world to his family. Please share this go fund me. All funds will be given to his mother, Rose Nielson. Please keep praying for comfort during this difficult time. In loving memory,

Austin Michael Alex Martin
