Support Heather and Brad Farha

Donation protected
On July 17, 2019 my husband, Brad, attended an outdoor concert with friends. While waiting in line in the extreme heat for concessions, he collapsed. Brad suffered a traumatic brain injury and will not survive. I am incredibly grateful that Brad’s last full day of life’s experience was at a concert he was looking forward to attending surrounded by friends he adored. Brad lived every day to its fullest and that particular Wednesday was no different. I have been hesitant about creating a GoFundMe site for us because I need everyone to know this:  Brad spent our 23 years together and 19 years of marriage providing, preparing and doing whatever he could to protect us in case a tragedy like this happened. Our youngest daughter, Brynn, has special needs and will need care her entire life. Even though Brad has planned well, there are going to be unknowns in our girls’ future that we cannot foresee. We are facing the next leg of our journey without Brad. With that comes the realization that Brad’s surgeries and extended stay in the ICU will come with a steep price tag. We have decided to set up this GoFundMe link because many friends and family from afar have been asking for a way to send support.

(Please note that Tribute donations to CaringBridge are meant to support CaringBridge as a nonprofit while donations to personal fundraising campaigns go to individual families. We are not able to redirect Tribute donations to individual GoFundMe campaigns.)

Thank you for your outpouring of love to our family during this tragedy. We are so grateful for our village!
