Hello everyone, my name is Lari. As some of you might already know, my family is going through a very difficult time. My little brother Chris recently passed away on January 23rd, 2025, just a day before his golden birthday. As his older sister, I have started a fundraiser to help cover a part of the cost for his funeral and burial expenses. Chris was the youngest of 3 siblings. If you ever met my little brother, you'd know he was so many amazing things. He was kind, thoughtful, and so selfless. He had the most beautiful smile on this earth that would just light up the whole room. He was goofy but could be shy, always very respectful. He was such a loving and caring uncle to his nieces and nephews. He was such a good brother, always putting a smile on our faces, cracking jokes, or complimenting us every chance he got. He was always there for everyone when they needed him, never said no to anything. Unfortunately, towards the end of his life, Chris was struggling with depression. He was fighting a battle within himself that he felt he could no longer handle and unfortunately resulted in him taking his own life. Although this is the reality, we wish to remember him by all those good memories we shared, his charming and genuine self. Any contributions will be truly appreciated on behalf of the entire family. Thank you in advance.

Hola a todos, me llamo Lari. Como algunos de ustedes ya saben, mi familia está pasando por un momento muy difícil. Mi hermano pequeño Chris falleció recientemente el 23 de enero de 2025, justo un día antes de su cumpleaños de oro. Como su hermana mayor, he comenzado una recaudación de fondos para ayudar a cubrir una parte del costo de sus gastos funerarios y de entierro. Chris era el menor de 3 hermanos. Si alguna vez conocieras a mi hermano pequeño, sabrías que era tantas cosas increíbles. Era amable, cariñoso y generoso. Tenía la sonrisa más hermosa de esta tierra, que simplemente iluminaría toda la habitación. Era gracioso pero podía ser tímido, siempre muy respetuoso. Era un tío tan amoroso y cariñoso para sus sobrinas y sobrinos. Era un buen hermano, siempre poniéndonos una sonrisa en la cara con sus chistes y nos elogiaba cada oportunidad que tuvo. Siempre estuvo ahí para todos cuando lo necesitaban, nunca dijo no a nada. Hacia el final de su vida, Chris estaba luchando contra la depresión. Estaba luchando una batalla dentro de sí mismo que sentía que ya no podía manejar y desafortunadamente resultó en que se quitara la vida. Aunque esta es la realidad, queremos recordarlo con todos esos buenos recuerdos que compartimos, su ser encantador y genuino. Cualquier contribución será verdaderamente apreciada en nombre de toda la familia. Gracias.
