We're reaching out on behalf of our dear friend Riz, who has suddenly lost her husband, Jake. His passing has left an unfillable void, and Riz is determined to honor his final wish: to be brought home to Canada and laid to rest with a traditional burial—a casket, a tombstone, and a place to gather and remember him.

The costs of transporting Jake’s body home and the burial are overwhelming. As a friend who has witnessed their love, we're asking for your help to lighten this burden.

Jake’s kindness and warmth touched many lives, and he deserves a dignified farewell that reflects his beautiful life. All funds will go directly toward transportation, burial costs, and related expenses.

No donation is too small, and even sharing this campaign can make a big difference. Let’s come together to honor Jake’s wish and support Riz during this heartbreaking time. Thank you for your compassion, your generosity, and for keeping Riz and Jake in your thoughts.

Yana & Johanna
