My best friend and sister, Mai, and her three young children are facing a heartbreaking tragedy. They have just lost their loving father far too soon—a man who adored his kids more than anything in the world. He was their protector, their comfort, and their biggest cheerleader. His passing has left a space in their lives that can never be filled.

As Mai helps her children navigate their grief, she is also facing the overwhelming responsibility of providing for them on her own. This fundraiser is to help ensure these children have stability during the most painful and confusing moment of their lives. Donations will go toward funeral costs, basic living expenses, and giving the kids the emotional and practical support they need as they adjust to life without their father.

Our hope is simply to soften the financial impact so Mai can focus on the most important thing: caring for her children and helping them heal. Any amount you give—no matter how small—will directly support these kids as they face the unthinkable. And if you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean so much. Thank you for showing love, compassion, and support to this family during their darkest time.
