This past Saturday, our friend AJ suddenly lost his mother, Terry. She raised him as a single mother and helped shape him into the incredible person we all know and love today. Although I never had the chance to meet Terry personally, it’s clear how special she was through the way AJ talks about his childhood and the life they shared together. They were very close and shared a love of cinema, often quoting their favorite movie lines and bonding over films they loved. Their connection was special.

Many of us have experienced the loss of someone dear, and if you’ve ever had to arrange end-of-life services for a loved one, you know how emotionally and financially difficult it can be. We are hoping to help cover Terry’s final arrangements and ease some of the burden on AJ during this incredibly difficult time.

If you are in a position to contribute, any amount would be deeply appreciated. Thank you for supporting AJ and honoring the life of his wonderful mother.
