Saachi and Julien are facing an unimaginable loss after the passing of their beloved father, Tim. Saachi, 19, is a student at LSU, and also hopes to go to PA School, after graduation. She rushed home to be by her dad’s side, after he unexpectedly collapsed while doing what he loved, exercising, and has taken on the role of decision-maker, as next of kin. She is smart, driven, and determined, showing incredible strength in the face of heartbreak. Julien, who is just turning 17, will celebrate without his best friend. He is a junior in high school with dreams of studying business and hopes to one day be a politician. He plays lacrosse, and his dad never missed a single game. He and Tim often would work out together. Julien is witty, wise beyond his years, and deeply misses his father, who was his biggest supporter.

Tim was the nicest, most giving, selfless, generous man who would always drop whatever he was doing to help someone else—friend, child, or stranger. He dedicated his life to helping unhoused Houstonians and inspired everyone around him through his selfless example. Tim was never without a smile and had golden retriever energy.

This fundraiser will help Saachi and Julien with immediate funeral expenses, education expenses, and daily living costs as they adjust to life without their father. Any support for Tim’s children during this time would mean the world. Your kindness will help them find hope and stability as they move forward.
