My brother, Quinnlin, and I recently lost our parents—tragically and suddenly. Their passing has left us without a safety net and has completely upended our lives. We know it’s going to take a lot—mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially—to begin to find some semblance of normality, however that looks now without our parents. The loss has brought not only emotional pain but also unexpected financial challenges. We are struggling to cover the costs of their funeral services, which has been overwhelming on its own. On top of that, we are now responsible for daily costs of living, groceries, utilities, rent, and medical bills—expenses that have become difficult to manage. With my brother having to leave his life out of state to help handle affairs here in Arizona, every day feels like a new hurdle, and we are doing our best to stay strong for each other.

We are reaching out for help from our community, friends, and anyone who feels moved to help in this unimaginable time. Any kindness or generosity you can offer will go directly toward these urgent needs, helping us find our footing during this uncertain time. Your support will make a real difference for us as we navigate this loss and try to rebuild our lives. We are deeply grateful for any help you can give.
