My name is Paris, and I am raising funds for my 25-year-old son as we face the biggest fight of his life. Since he was 17, he has been battling interstitial lung disease. Through it all, he has remained bright, hardworking, creative, and deeply caring. He has inspired so many people with his resilience, his love for music, the arts, and technology, and the way he continues to think of others even while carrying so much himself. He has always pushed through pain to show up for the people he loves, to create beautiful work, and to keep going with strength and heart. Now we have reached a point where he can no longer push any further, and he needs a transplant for a chance at healing and a future.

This fundraiser is to help us meet the transplant team’s financial requirement, along with the recovery and relocation costs that come with this next step. We will need to relocate away from home for his care, and I will be out of work for 6 to 12 months while helping him through recovery. Your support will help ease that burden and give my son the opportunity to move forward with the surgery he urgently needs. If you are able, please donate, share our fundraiser link, or send encouraging messages. Every act of kindness means so much to our family, and we are deeply grateful for any support you can give.
