Hi, My name is Lani and a good friend of Chrystal and Ari Goldschmidt. Like many veterans and healthcare workers, Ari lost his battle with mental illness. He leaves behind a wife, seven children, parents, and two brothers, including many close military and work friends. They are left with taking care of his funeral, bills and young children. His wife, Chrystal Goldschmidt, with all of the stress of losing a loved one, had a stroke and had to be hospitalized for days while grieving the loss of her husband. Please help this family out during such a hard time and the holidays with it all.

All funds will go directly to help with the funeral costs, medical bills and household bills left behind for the family to take care of; he was only 37 years old.
