Thank you!
Michaela Simms has ended this fundraiser. Donations are no longer being accepted.
$13,370.00 was contributed to Help with Memorial Expenses by 121 people in memory of Christian.
This memorial fundraising campaign is now closed.
Background
Our beloved Christian Postema recently passed on January 9, 2023. Christian was a wonderful young boy, whose life touched so many of those around him. His name says it all; Christian was the most peaceful and loving young man you could ever meet.
No loss is an easy one and the loss of a child is even more devastating. We want to honor Christian's memory and say our last goodbyes, yet the high costs of a ceremony have of course come quickly and unexpectedly.
We are raising funds to support the family during this difficult time. Donations will be used for memorial expenses, as well as to offset living expenses following a 5-day bereavement period where only leave without pay is available.
We are incredibly grateful for everyone's love, prayers and support during this time of grief. Any donation will be incredibly helpful and appreciated.
