      Chris' battle is over. He went peacefully while surrounded by his closest family members and best friend. Thank you so much to everyone who made his last wish possible by donating and for helping his transition be peaceful with your prayers and well wishes.

      Chris is home! We were able to get on an earlier flight yesterday and arrived in MA very early Wednesday morning. He is now in his family home resting.
      I cannot begin to express how incredibly grateful we are for everyone who donated, prayed, and sent positivity and well wishes to make this possible. I was so moved by the amount of donations and when reading everyone's comments and Chris was blown away by how much love was coming his way. He's now getting hospice care to make sure he is as comfortable as he can be while he spends time with family and completes his journey.
      Again, thank you for making Chris' final wish come true.

      I cannot thank everyone enough. We've reached our goal and then some! Chris is still booked on a private air ambulance scheduled for Wednesday to take him home into the loving care of family and friends. Any additional donations above the cost of getting him home will be going toward Chris' hospice care and future services. Please continue to pray and send strength to him to make it through the trip. ??

      I cannot express how loved and blessed we are. Thank you just isn't enough. ???
      His flight is scheduled for Wednesday morning. He is trying to hold on until then so he can make it home. Please keep praying for his body to stay strong enough to make it home.

      I'm so completely blown away by how's much love, support, and generosity everyone has shown us so far. We're over halfway to our goal in less than 24 hours!
      I've started the paperwork process to reserved a flight for Chris on Wednesday with a charity organization called Grace on Wings. They will be taking care of everything starting from transporting him from the hospital here in CA to settling him in his family home in MA. You can look them up online for more info.
      Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far and for sharing this page with your friends and family. Please continue to spread the word so that we can reach our goal to get him home. And thank you everyone for your continued prayers. ?
