Team Murakami! Kery needs Love & Support
Donation protected
Our brilliant, talented, complicated, sweet, loving friend needs help. Kery first started showing symptoms in September 2024 and was officially diagnosed with Bulbar ALS in January 2025. He has been hospitalized and receiving treatment ever since. It’s been a difficult journey and his comfort and care remain the priority. We have been with him every step of the way.
As Kery nears the end of his life, we have enlisted the guidance of an end of life Doula to assist with the transition. She is an amazing resource, a great support, and has taken a shine to our incredible friend (he really likes her too).. We are providing everything he needs to remain comfortable and well cared for.
Please consider donating to help Kery with the next phase of the great unknown. If there are any remaining funds, a donation in his name will be made to the ALS Foundation to help support other families in need. This disease suuuuuucks. Donations also accepted in the form of love, good vibrations, prayers, a toast with a pint, smiles, fun memories and all of the things that remind us we’re all in this together.
All the love ♥️ and thank you very much.
