January 8, 2025, marked the first anniversary of his mom's passing away from cancer—a devastating loss that has left an irreplaceable void in his life. That same day, one year later, He woke up to the terrifying flames in CA. With the fire spreading rapidly and thick black smoke filling the air, he, in a state of shock, grabbed his backpack and fled the house, barely dressed. The heat was so intense that the glass, asphalt, and wood beneath him melted into his skin and socks as he escaped.
B is the only son of J, who adopted him at age six and rescued him from the foster care system, raising him with unconditional love and support. In 2023, his mom was diagnosed with cancer, and he made the difficult decision to put his master's degree on hold to become her full-time caregiver. Together, they fought bravely, but in 2024, she passed away, leaving him to navigate his grief.

Now, after the fire, he is recovering from second and third-degree burns on his feet and smoke inhalation injuries. Despite everything, he remains determined to move forward and continue his education—a goal that meant so much to him and his mom.
While he focuses on his recovery, his cousin Kelly and friends have come together to organize this GoFundMe on his behalf.
All funds raised will help him through this incredibly difficult time.
