With heavy hearts, we share that my nephew Donnie passed away on July 19th, surrounded by the love of his family. At just 24 years old, Donnie faced nearly two years battling a rare and unknown blood disorder, a fight he met with unwavering strength, courage, and grace. His loss has left a void that words can’t fill.

This fundraiser is to support Donnie’s parents as they grieve the unimaginable. In addition to medical expenses, we hope to ease the burden of everyday costs so they have the space to mourn without added financial stress. Every dollar will go directly to helping them cover hospital bills, arrangements, and basic living expenses while they navigate this heartbreaking chapter.

If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing this page. Thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this time. It means more than words can say.
