My little brother, Chris Lawrence Brown, is a Minneapolis musician who has dedicated his life to sharing music and joy with others. If you know Chris, you know he’s the kind of person who would drop everything to help a friend, a family member, or even a stranger.

This week, on his way home from a gig, Chris was riding an electric scooter when he was forced off the road in a hit-and-run accident. He suffered a deep cut on his nose, a swollen lip, and most painfully, he lost his two front teeth. Right now, he’s in pain and facing urgent dental care to repair the damage.

This fundraiser is to help cover the costs of:

• Emergency dental treatment for his exposed nerves (immediate need).

• Restoring his front teeth so he can fully heal and return to performing.

• Follow-up care to make sure he recovers completely.

We’ve set the goal at $15,000, which reflects the typical costs for emergency dental work and tooth restoration. Any amount will make a meaningful difference.

Chris has given so much of himself through his music, his kindness, and his generosity. Now it’s our turn to give back to him. If you’ve ever been touched by his music or his heart, please consider helping. And if you’re not in a place to donate, simply sharing this page means the world.

From our family to yours — thank you for helping Chris heal, smile, and keep making music.
