<div>No parent should ever have to endure the heartbreak of losing a child.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Monday, 6 July, six-year-old Ari Bear was involved in a devastating car accident when the vehicle he was in was struck from behind. After five days in the PICU, surrounded by the love of his family and with so many people hoping and praying for a miracle, Ari sadly gained his wings on Friday, 10 July.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In just six short years, Ari touched the lives of so many. He was a cheeky, adventurous little boy with the biggest heart. He loved soccer, adored his family and friends, and embraced every day with endless enthusiasm, kindness and laughter. His caring nature and beautiful smile left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ari was a cherished son, an adored brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend, and his absence has left an unimaginable void in the lives of those who loved him most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even in the midst of unimaginable heartbreak, Sharni and Bradley made the incredibly selfless decision to honour Ari's life through organ donation. Because of Ari, two young children have been given the gift of life, while two more adults have been given the opportunity for a better quality of life. It is a remarkable legacy that reflects exactly the kind, generous little boy Ari was.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Sharni and Bradley begin to navigate a future no family should ever have to face, they are supporting Ari's siblings, Van, Xavier, Levi and Marlowe through the heartbreaking loss of their brother. As a one-income family of six, they will need time away from work to grieve together and begin rebuilding their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The impact of this tragedy is being felt across the entire family. Ari's grandparents, Brad and Gaye, who helped raise and care for Ari, are also grieving the loss of their precious grandson. Gaye was injured in the accident and, together with Brad, will be unable to work for some time as they recover physically and emotionally. Ari's cousin Hollie was also injured in the accident. She had been preparing to represent Queensland at this year's Australian Futsal selections, but her focus is now on recovering alongside her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So many people have reached out asking how they can help. While nothing can take away this unimaginable pain or mend the family's broken hearts, we hope this fundraiser can ease some of the financial burden they now face, giving them the time and space to grieve without the added stress of financial pressure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to donate, no matter how big or small, your kindness and support will mean more than words can express. If you're unable to contribute financially, sharing this fundraiser with others is another meaningful way to support Ari's family during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The outpouring of love from the Beaudesert community and beyond has been nothing short of incredible. From kind messages and meals to practical support and simply being there when it mattered most, every act of kindness has reminded the family they are not facing this alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping wrap this beautiful family in love as they honour Ari's life and begin the long road ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Forever six. Forever loved. Forever remembered.
</div>
