Hi Friends and Family of Katherine Smith and Sterling Johnson,

This fundraiser is to help Sterling Johnson cover the funeral service and related expenses for his mother, Katherine Smith. Sterling sadly lost his mother last week, after a long series of health challenges. He is now working with a funeral home to plan a service, and has estimated that expenses will be around $900 - $1000. We would love to help Sterling cover those costs, so that he can focus on friends, family, and his own healing, instead of worrying about finances, during this difficult time.

Please reach out if you cannot make a financial contribution at this time, but would like to brainstorm other ways to support Sterling - I hope you know we're all more than understanding of that!! Also - Sterling would love to hear from you directly. Community, and some semblance of normalcy, have been really helpful. We want to make sure Sterling feels loved in a long-term capacity, not just an initial outpouring of well-wishes that fade away.

Sterling can provide details about his mother's memorial service if you would like to attend.
