***UPDATE***

Lorca has passed away and is now in heaven with his beloved mother. Donations have now been closed. Please read our final update below for our heartfelt thanks and information about the continued use of funds for Lorca’s final expenses and Shahyar’s ongoing care.

************

We are reaching out to the friends, fans, and community of Shahyar Ghanbari during an incredibly difficult time.

Shahyar’s son, Lorca, also known as King Highness, is currently hospitalized and fighting for his life. His condition is extremely serious, and his family is facing circumstances no family should have to endure.

At the same time, they are facing an urgent financial and housing crisis. Approximately $12,000 is needed to help prevent the loss of their home, along with the mounting expenses surrounding Lorca’s hospitalization and the difficult days ahead.

For decades, Shahyar has shared his music, poetry, and art with people around the world. Now we are asking the community that has loved and supported him to come together for Shahyar and his son.

Our goal is to raise at least $15,000 to provide some immediate stability and allow the family to focus on what matters most right now—Lorca.

Please donate whatever you can. No amount is too small. If you’re unable to donate, please share this fundraiser with Shahyar’s friends, fans, and the Iranian community around the world.

Every donation, every share, and every act of kindness matters.

Please help us stand with Shahyar and Lorca during this heartbreaking time. ❤️
