Curt Smith, my brother, suffered a severe stroke on Friday, March 6, 2026. He was rushed to the hospital that morning, unable to walk or see out of his left eye. Thankfully, he is now stable, but the journey ahead will be challenging as he faces a long road of rehabilitation and recovery.

Curt is not able to work right now, and the immediate medical bills and basic living expenses are adding up quickly. The funds raised here will go directly toward helping Curt cover these urgent costs, so he can focus on healing and regaining his strength without the added stress of financial worries.

Curt has always been a pillar of the ocean and food service communities—a lifelong waterman who has given back through coaching and organizing community-building events. Now, Curt needs our help. We humbly ask that you please consider donating whatever you can to help Curt get back on his feet and recover. Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference in Curt's recovery. Thank you for standing by him during this difficult time.
