Our dear friend Chris is facing the heartbreaking loss of his beloved mother, Dianne Fernsmith Hughes. She passed away unexpectedly, and Chris is now navigating both the overwhelming grief and the financial burden of planning her burial and wake.

Chris lived with his mother and cared for her deeply. She was not just his mom, but his best friend and his world. Losing her has been devastating, emotionally and financially.

We’re hoping to rally support from friends, family, and anyone who can help ease the stress of the mounting funeral costs. Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward giving his mom a proper and dignified farewell.

Please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser to help Chris honor his mother’s memory with the love and respect she deserves.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
