Hey everyone,

I am deeply remorseful that things have reached this point. I am reaching out to ask for your support during the most difficult and challenging time in my life. As many of you know, I recently lost both of my parents. My mother died on August 21st, 2022 and shortly after, my father took his own life on December 30th, 2022. While the grief of this loss is unimaginable, the financial burden of their passing has only added to my stress and struggles.

I am setting up this GoFundMe to help cover the expenses associated with their passing. There are a lot of loose ends I am trying to work through, while also trying to pay my own expenses and am feeling outrageously overwhelmed. So I will be using the funds to take care of various affairs and to simply stay afloat during this tough time.

Any amount you can contribute will be greatly appreciated and will go a long way in helping me get through this. This is a last resort for me. I never in a million years would have considered I would need to do a GoFundMe. I have always been very secure and put together, but these last four months have knocked me down to rock bottom and I need a little help. Thank you in advance for your generosity and support. And at the very least, please just share this around. Do not put yourself in a bind if you are not in a position to help. The last thing I want is to burden anyone.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Chad Adam Smith
