Hi, my name is Tasha Arratia, and I’m organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friend Brandon Finch and his partner Scott Smith.
In January of this year, Brandon suffered a traumatic brain injury after a fall that has completely altered the course of his life. He will no longer be able to work, live independently, or care for himself. His injury requires 24/7 care to ensure his safety and well-being.
Brandon’s partner, Scott, has stepped up in every way imaginable—he’s not only taking on the emotional toll of this tragedy, but is also becoming Brandon’s legal conservator and full-time caregiver. To make ends meet, Scott is now working two jobs, all while trying to provide the constant supervision and support that Brandon needs to stay safe.
As you can imagine, the costs are overwhelming:
• Medical care
• Legal fees for conservatorship
• Basic living expenses
and soon they will be facing
• Safety modifications to their home
• In-home support
I’m raising funds to help ease the financial strain on Scott and make sure Brandon continues to receive the care he deserves. They are both kind, humble, and deeply loved by their community—but now, they need our support more than ever.
Every donation, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this with others who might be able to help.
From the bottom of my heart—thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with Brandon and Scott during this life-altering time.
With gratitude,
