Hi, my name is Ashley Mugg. I’m Paul Gorman‘s niece. I started this fundraiser to help my family cover the expenses of a funeral and to bring Paul back home to Santa Maria (he’s currently in Berkeley, CA). We’re still waiting to get answers as to what caused him to leave us so suddenly, but his passing has been devastating. Paul loved Christmas and would come out of nowhere with the most thoughtful and unexpected gifts. He would spend endless hours in the kitchen cooking for the family and every meal was amazing. He was always yelling “hey ma!” to my grandma to either tell her a horrifying joke or to request that she pass him something that was usually about 2 inches away from him. He loved her and she loved him. We all did and we always will… we’re going to miss him a lot.

I know money can be tight around the holidays, so thank you in advance for giving.
