Help Ease Sherwin's Transition.

Hi, my name is Lisa and, along with Sherwin Tolentino and Gary Snyder's support network in Seattle, I’d like to collect funds to help ease the transition period Sherwin is currently in and will be for months, after Gary's swift death from stage 4 lymphoma.

I learned a lesson from a close friend who lost a partner last year: they set-up a GFM and the funds collected gave them the space to figure things out for their home and family — while also dealing with the stupid paperwork that comes after death, along with the mundane obligations of our lives while grieving and processing.

I’d love to give Sherwin some of that space and relief. I also love the idea that we all — their community — are collectively supporting Sherwin’s path ahead.

How will the funds be used? However Sherwin needs over the upcoming months — groceries, meals, therapy, self-care, a trip with the boys…

Gary was diagnosed 6 months ago and passed away on May 19th. You can learn more about Gary's life and legacy in this wonderful memorial published by The Seattle Times. Thank you for helping us support people we love.
