 On September 18, 2026, our family’s world changed in an instant. Christopher Pereira lost his life after he was struck by a negligent driver in an SUV while on his motorcycle. He leaves behind his two incredible children, Cora (15) and Evan (17). No words can adequately describe the heartbreak of losing a father so suddenly, especially at an age when there are still so many milestones, celebrations, and moments they should have had the chance to share with him.

 Cora and Evan are both in high school with bright, college-bound futures ahead of them. In the midst of devastating grief, they are now facing a future that looks very different from the one they knew just days ago. They lost their dad and provider, and everything has changed emotionally and practically.

 We are creating this fundraiser to help provide the stability Chris would have wanted for his children. They were everything to him, and he worked tirelessly so they could thrive. The funds will go toward housing, education, healthcare, and the everyday living expenses that will continue as they find their footing in a life none of us expected.

 Because these needs will continue over time, recurring donations can provide steady support for housing, school needs, insurance, and daily living expenses in the months ahead. One-time donations are also deeply appreciated and will help right away.

 While nothing can replace their father, our hope is that we can surround Cora and Evan with love and support and help ensure that this tragedy does not stand in the way of the futures they have worked so hard toward. If you feel moved to help, your support will go directly toward Cora and Evan’s care and future. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page would mean just as much to our family. Thank you for helping us carry these two remarkable kids through an incredibly painful chapter and reminding them that they are surrounded by a community that cares deeply for them.
