Honoring Zhubin Niavash Pidduck

As most of you know, Chester Pidduck and Rayyaneh Karami were expecting their first child in January. On December 10th, Rayyaneh was admitted to the hospital with a sudden, life threatening illness. The next day, she underwent an emergency C-section in order to save the lives of both mother and child. Sadly, their baby son Zhubin Niavash Pidduck passed away 3 days later on December 14th.

We have put this fund together to ease some of the financial burden on Chester and Rayyaneh during this difficult time and to honor their son. We are hoping this will allow them to concentrate on the grieving and healing process and give them time to be together without worrying about all of the unexpected costs that have now arisen.

We are hoping to meet or surpass our goal before the New Year–or even before Christmas, if possible.

As a reminder, Chester and Rayyaneh need privacy right now. In order not to overwhelm them, please refrain from texting, calling, or visiting them. They will reach out when they are ready. Instead, please send your condolences, well wishes, prayers, and love to them via email and Facebook–or leave a comment on the GoFundMe page.  

Now is our chance as a community to band together and pitch in to help our beloved friends in their time of need. Thank you so very much!
