With incredibly heavy hearts, we share the heartbreaking loss of 7-year-old Rustin, who passed away far too soon.

Rustin was a special and deeply loved little boy who brought joy to those around him in his own beautiful ways. He was a non-verbal child with autism, and while he communicated differently, the love he gave and the happiness he shared were unmistakable to everyone who knew him.

Rustin especially loved the Cars movies. They brought him so much excitement and comfort, and watching his face light up while Lightning McQueen raced across the screen was a moment his family will always cherish. Those small moments of joy meant everything.

No family should ever have to experience the loss of a child. During this unimaginable time of grief, we are coming together to support Rustin’s family as they navigate the days ahead.

This fundraiser has been created to help ease the financial burden of funeral and memorial expenses and to give the family the time and space they need to grieve without additional stress.

Any donation, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Rustin’s family in your thoughts and prayers means more than words can express.

Thank you for helping surround Rustin’s family with love, compassion, and support while honoring the memory of a very special little boy.
