Matt Smith - Medical and Family care

Donation protected
On Monday morning Nov 2nd, Matt suffered an unexpected and catastrophic rupture in his brain. This rupture was caused by an abnormality that was formed before he was born, and was completely unknown and undetected. This abnormality is called Arteriovenous malformation (AVM).  Matt was taken to Harborview Medical Center where the doctors and staff worked tirelessly on his behalf.

Unfortunately, the damage Matt sustained to his brain is entirely irreversible. We are grateful to have had the chance to say goodbye as a family and are waiting for him to slip peacefully on through the veil of this life, and be reunited with his dear family members and loved ones who have preceded him in death. If you know Matt, then you know the light, love, generosity, and compassion that he gave to all who he came in contact with.

Matt always stood as a pillar of strength, perseverance and optimism to his friends and family. We have received so much hope from him throughout his life, and in the recent days, we have leaned heavily on that same strength and hope that he gave to us. On behalf of the Smith family, and with hospital bills and the cost of funeral arrangements, we humbly and greatly appreciate any help you may be able to give during this incredibly difficult time.

With love and gratitude,
The Smith Family
