My dear friend Christy Waits is facing an unimaginable loss—her beloved son, Quentin, passed away unexpectedly last night at 28 years old. Known to many as “Q,” he had a deeply kind and gentle spirit, and he loved with his whole heart. He leaves behind a beautiful 2-year-old son, Judah.

With Christy’s permission, I’ve created this fundraiser to help support the family with funeral expenses during this heartbreaking time. There is no greater pain than losing a child, and any support you can offer—no matter the amount—will make a difference.

Thank you for your compassion, your generosity, and for holding Christy and her family in your thoughts and hearts.
