Hi, my name is Kaitlin Pfeifer, and I’ve started this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friend Steve, who recently lost his beloved partner, Tom.

Tom’s passing was sudden and heartbreaking. For nearly 25 years, he and Steve shared a beautiful life filled with love and laughter. They were each other’s world. Steve, as many of you know, has one of the most loving and giving hearts I’ve ever known. He’s the first to show up for others, never expecting anything in return.

As Steve navigates this overwhelming grief, many of us are looking for ways to support him. While he'd never ask, no one should have to go through this alone. To help with the costs of honoring Tom's life, any amount is appreciated. I know it will mean the world to Steve and everyone who loves him and Tom.

Thank you again to everyone! Whether you’ve donated, sent a prayer, or simply kept Steve in your thoughts, it means more than words can say.

A funeral service for Tom will be held on August 6th, with more information to come.
