Support for Wai & Linda: Love, Laughter, and Comfort
Donation protected
If you’ve met Chef Wai, you’ve probably laughed—possibly at an inappropriate joke—and likely walked away with a full belly and a lighter heart. That’s just who he is: sarcastic, quick-witted, and fiercely loyal. He brings joy and flavor to every room he walks into, and he's the kind of person who shows up for others without hesitation.
Right now, Wai and his partner, Linda, are walking through a very tough chapter. Linda is undergoing treatment for cancer, and Wai is doing what he does best: showing up with strength, humor, and his signature resilience.
This GoFundMe is our way of standing beside them. Contributions will go toward supporting their time together—whether that’s helping cover everyday comforts, meals, or just giving them the space to focus on what matters most: each other.
If you're able to donate, please do. And if you can share the link, even better. Most of all, we know Wai and Linda would appreciate a message that makes them smile—or laugh out loud—because humor and heart are what carry them through each day.
Thank you for helping us surround Wai and Linda with love, support, and the warmth of this incredible community.
– With gratitude,
Friends & Colleagues of Wai and Linda
