After the loss of their mother, DJ stepped up to care for his mentally disabled brother Jonah, providing love, stability, and support during a time of immense change. DJ is not only a devoted brother but also a great friend and an all-around wonderful person, always there for those who need him. Jonah is incredibly sweet and loyal, always ready to laugh, and finds joy in fishing down in Bear Point, playing bingo at Oso, hanging out with friends, spending time with animals—especially Violet—swimming, all things weather, and rollercoasters. His spirit brings light to everyone around him.

Now, DJ is facing his own health crisis. For the past six months, he has been in and out of the hospital with serious gastrointestinal problems, making it nearly impossible to provide for himself and Jonah. The challenges have been overwhelming—medical bills are piling up, daily living expenses are harder to meet, and Jonah needs ongoing care and support. Without help, Jonah may have to go to a state home or become a ward of the state, which would be devastating for him and disrupt the loving, supportive life DJ has worked so hard to provide.

Any support, no matter the size, would mean the world to our family during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness and generosity will help us get through the challenges ahead, and we are deeply grateful for your help.
