Background
"Love is an action. Never simply a feeling” (Bell Hooks), was a guiding mantra for Chad. Love was at the core of all his efforts. Friendship, artistic, familial. All of it.
One of Chad’s biggest efforts was an attempt to reduce the scarring too commonly left behind by the incredibly high costs of US healthcare, on his family.
For months, and into his last days, Chad dreamed out loud of all the ways his art could serve. Serve to fill the many financial craters caused by medical treatment. Serve to continue the story that he felt, rightfully so, he was still in the middle of telling.
If able, please contribute to fulfilling some of Chad’s love actions. Supporting his family’s significant costs of care, and extending Chad's infinite artistic voice beyond his shortened time.
Our grief is collective. Love is the action. Contribute
