Hi everyone,

My name is Chris, and I never imagined I’d be here writing something like this.

This past week, my brother Isaiah passed away unexpectedly. Losing him has left a hole in my heart that words can’t fill. We grew up close — through every high and low, he was my brother, my family, and one of the few people I could always count on.

Years ago, we also lost our father and other core relatives. With very little family left and limited support, this loss feels even heavier. I’m doing my best to hold things together, but right now, I’m asking for help.

This fundraiser is to help me cover the costs of Isaiah’s final arrangements — mainly the cremation and receiving his ashes. I want to give him the dignity and peace he deserves, and to hold onto something tangible that honors his memory.

We’re asking for $3500 to cover these expenses. Any funds that go beyond the service costs will go toward all other memorial needs.

No amount is too small, and if you’re not able to donate, please consider sharing this with others. Your support — whether it’s financial, emotional, or just a kind word — means the world.

Thank you for helping me give Isaiah the goodbye he deserves.

With gratitude,

Chris
