My name is Aleksandr Shimko. I am organizing this fundraiser in honor of my brother, Max Shimko. Max was the first son, the first grandchild, the first born and the first to go. He was a very kind and generous person. He was very happy in life and always tried to find the positive in everything. He was a great musician and used his talent to serve the Lord. On January 29, 2025, while on his way to work, Max, age 23, lost his life in a tragic motor vehicle accident. No one expected that that morning was going to be the last goodbye. He leaves behind his young wife of three years, his parents, and 7 siblings. Max will be greatly missed by all that knew him. The funeral will take place on February 1, 2025. I am opening this fundraiser to help cover the costs of the funeral. These funds will be sent to his wife and parents. If it is on your heart, please help us out. Also, pray for God to strengthen the family in this difficult time. Thank you so much and God bless.
