Ease financial stress during this difficult time

Donation protected
Hello everyone my name Is Curtis, I am one of Christian's older brothers. I am calling out for help due to financial strain on my family.

​Christian was only 23 years old and his life was suddenly cut short yesterday, November 8, 2025, following a medical emergency that began on October 28th.
​This past couple of weeks has been a cruel nightmare for our family. Christian was rushed to the ICU in Hamilton on October 28th and immediately placed on life support. After days of hoping and praying, we received the crushing news on November 4th: Christian had suffered a severe neurological event and had no brain activity, meaning he would face a lifelong vegetative state.
​On November 7th, with heavy hearts, our family made the difficult decision to remove life support. Christian passed away peacefully yesterday, November 8th, surrounded by the family who loved him so much.
​Christian was full of life and had a gentle, loving spirit. He was a true 'gentle giant' who loved his music, and he could always, without fail, make you laugh. His absence has left a deep, painful void in the lives of all who knew and loved him.
​During this time of intense grief, we are asking for support to help alleviate the severe financial burdens we are facing


In the time that Christian was in the hospital for 10 days, we all missed alot of work to be with each other and beside Christian, where we had to travel to Hamilton from both Stratford and Brantford. Now that Christian is peacefully gone, me and my brothers want to take the time to figure out all other arrangements for Christian to have a proper cremation, visitation and celebration of life as my mom simply cannot do so in this difficult time. These funds will help me and my brothers stay by my mom's side in these next few days and help with all other financial stress we've been facing the last 10 days and going forward.

The funds raised will go towards the following:

- lost wages
- child care
- gas
- food
- parking

We appreciate every penny! Even if you cant donate, we would be super grateful for you to share our story.
