Hi, my name is Alysa, and I’m reaching out during one of the hardest times of our lives. On June 1st, we lost my beloved brother, Michael, unexpectedly. He was only 27 years old.

No one is ever prepared to lose someone so young, and our family is absolutely heartbroken. My mom, who has always been our rock, is now facing the unimaginable — planning her son’s funeral while grieving his loss. As you can imagine, the financial burden that comes with funeral expenses is overwhelming, and she simply can’t carry it alone.

We’re asking for help — from friends, family, and anyone moved to support — to raise funds to cover the funeral costs and give my brother the loving, respectful goodbye he deserves. Every dollar will go directly to helping my mom with burial and service.

Michael deserved so much more from life.

Thank you for your compassion and support during this devastating time.
