Community support and financial stability for Mur

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted community,

We are reaching out to you today with heavy hearts to ask for your support for Mur “Windtalker” Abaza, a beloved brother, teacher, and friend who is facing an unimaginable time of loss and hardship.

Mur has spent his life as a guiding light — a storyteller, a healer, and a bridge between worlds. His laughter, his wisdom, and his open heart have touched so many of us. Whether through his words, his spirit, or simply the strength of his presence, Mur has always found a way to lift others, even while carrying his own burdens quietly and with grace.

Now, he needs us to lift him.

Mur has been courageously navigating ongoing health challenges that have taken a significant toll on his body and spirit. These struggles, while formidable, were met with the unwavering support of his beloved Chris — his rock, his joy, and his fiercest champion. Together, they faced every storm side by side.

Tragically, Chris passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, leaving Mur not only in deep grief but also without the daily support that has been vital to his healing journey. The emotional and physical strain of this loss, combined with mounting medical costs, housing insecurity, and the simple, overwhelming weight of surviving day by day, has left Mur in a place of urgent need.

No one should have to navigate such deep grief and profound health battles alone.

This fundraiser is meant to help ease the immediate financial pressures on Mur so he can focus on healing — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — without the looming fear of how to keep a roof over his head, how to pay for his continued care, or how to cover the countless expenses that come with rebuilding a life after loss.

Your donation, no matter the size, will make a direct and meaningful impact:

• Helping cover medical costs and essential healthcare

• Supporting basic living expenses like housing, utilities, and groceries

• Providing access to grief counseling and emotional support resources

• Giving Mur the time and space he needs to grieve and heal without fear

Mur has given so much of himself to the world — through his stories, his teachings, his quiet acts of kindness, and the way he holds space for others. It’s our turn to hold space for him.

If you are unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this campaign with your networks. Every prayer, every word of encouragement, every act of love matters.

Thank you for standing with Mur during this painful chapter. Together, we can help him find his way back to light, one day at a time.

With love and gratitude,

Friends of Mur
