<div>Help CJ Honor His Mother’s Beautiful Legacy
</div>
<div>Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted community,
</div>
<div>It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of CJ’s beloved mother, a woman whose warmth, laughter, and unwavering love touched everyone around her. She was the heart of their home, always ready with a kind word or a comforting meal, and her loss has left CJ grappling with both profound grief and the challenge of giving her the dignified farewell she deserves.
</div>
<div>CJ has always been the kind of person who puts others first. Despite enduring a devastating workplace accident that left him with a broken back, Chiari malformation, and severe damage to both scapula's, rotator cuffs, hip and sciatic nerve, CJ poured every ounce of his strength—and his savings—into caring for his mother during her final years. Unable to work or enjoy the active life he once led, he never wavered in his commitment to her, ensuring she felt loved and supported until her final moments. Now, CJ faces the heartbreak of her loss while navigating overwhelming financial strain. Forced to leave the home they shared for over 20 years, he’s looking into a modest camper to live in with part of what's raised as he awaits disability support. Yet, even in this hardship, CJ remains steadfast in caring for his mother’s two beloved dogs, who were her constant companions. These dogs, with their soulful eyes and wagging tails, carry her spirit, and CJ refuses to part with them, seeing them as a precious link to her love.
</div>
<div>We’re reaching out to you—our incredible community of friends, family, and kind strangers—to help CJ cover the costs of a funeral that honors his mother’s beautiful life. The expenses of a proper send-off are daunting, and CJ is carrying this burden while grieving and rebuilding his life. Your support will not only ease the financial weight but also show CJ that he’s not alone in this moment of sorrow. Additional Expenses: Covering unforeseen costs during this difficult time.
</div>

</div>
<div>No contribution is too small—every dollar is a step toward giving CJ’s mother the farewell she deserves and a reminder to CJ that his community stands with him. If you can’t donate, your shares, prayers, or messages of condolence mean the world. Your kindness will be a beacon of hope, showing CJ that his mother’s light continues to shine through the love and support of those around him.
</div>
<div>Thank you for opening your hearts to CJ and his mother’s memory. Together, we can help him carry forward her legacy with love, dignity, and the strength
</div>
