Christopher “Munch” Bolden

Janell and Christopher Sr. would like to thank everyone who has donated thus far towards Munch’s homegoing. They have been overwhelmed with all of the love and support that they have received. For those who were able to attend or watch the service online, it was truly beautiful and could not have been possible without your generous donations. While it was their intent to end the go fund me the day of the service, so many have reached out still wanting to contribute. As a result we have decided to continue to allow donations at this time. Moving forward, money collected will go towards obtaining a marker (headstone) for Munch which we hope to have up by Christmas, and to assist Janell and the family as she is grieving the loss of her son with no current return to work date. You all are amazing and your support has been unmatched!

My Dear friend lost her baby boy just one day after his 10th birthday. Most of us have watched him grow up, fight for his life, and defy the odds for years either in person or via social media. Most of us also love his parents and the love that they have for him him whether you know them personally or through other friends and family members. Many have asked what they need and how they can help during this difficult time, and while the initial answer was “i don’t know” or “nothing”, as the family sits to plan his homegoing, it has become clear that financial assistance is the greater need at this time. Janell was able to secure a life insurance policy for Munch through her employer for the amount of $10,000 however due to his medical condition that is the absolute most she was able to get. That amount seems like a lot, but as we’re meeting with funeral homes, cemeteries, churches, etc we realize that amount won’t even cover the cost of the fees at the cemetery. We are hoping that friends, family, supporters, and that those who love Munch can support the family during this time with whatever donations they can which will go directly to cover costs of his homegoing. If you were thinking about bringing the family flowers, sending an edible arrangement, etc. please consider donating that money to the go fund me instead. We’re hoping to be able to allow his family the space and time to grieve without the additional worry of how they will afford to be able to do so. No amount is too big or too small and we are extremely appreciative of any help and support that is received.
