<div>On January 11th 2026, our lives were shattered when my son, Zaden Goodman, was killed as an innocent bystander in a senseless shooting. Zaden was a young man who truly lived out loud. He was the life of every party and possessed a smile so big it would light up the entire room the moment he walked in.
</div>
<div>​Zaden was known for his style and his spirit—his skin was always flawless, and his hair was a constant, beautiful evolution, always different, wild, and free. He was a bright light who had his whole life ahead of him, and his absence has left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled.
</div>
<div>​This tragedy was completely unexpected, and as I navigate the crushing grief of losing my son, I am also facing the reality of the expenses that follow such a loss. I am currently out of work to focus on making his final arrangements and supporting our family through this trauma.
</div>
<div>We are humbly asking for your help to cover:
</div>
<div>​Final expenses and memorial services to give Zaden the beautiful farewell he deserves.
</div>
<div>​Household bills and living expenses while I am away from work grieving this impossible loss.
</div>
<div>​No amount is too small, and if you cannot donate, we simply ask that you share Zaden’s story and keep our family in your prayers. Thank you for helping us honor our wild, free, and beautiful boy.
</div>
