Our dear friend James Torres went in for a planned surgery on Thursday, April 30th. At the end of that surgery he suffered complications that caused permanent damage to his brain and other organs. Unfortunately we have learned from his doctors that this is a situation he will not recover from.  We want to be clear about the medical prognosis, but James is still with us and the more faith based among us are encouraged to continue with their prayers and hopeful energy.  

Many people are asking how they can help. We all will find our own way to contribute during this difficult time but we also put together this crowdfunding page so that people can make a financial contribution if that feels appropriate. The funds raised here will go towards the costs of bring James' family out to San Francisco and cover his other personal bills and expenses.

James is an amazing man and he will be sorely missed. Big love to our papi, brother, and friend and thank you for whatever contribution you may decide to make.
