Critical Support for Neil Livingston's Family

* Tragically Neil transitioned to the other side on September 26. He was peaceful, surrounded by his family, and his two beloved dogs. His suffering is over, now we need to support Claudia and the girls. We are so grateful for your support.

Our friend Neil Livingston needs our help. We need to pull together as a community who loves him to support Claudia, Nyah (11), Luna (almost 8) and Hannah (6). They need us more than ever.

Neil was very recently diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, which started in his kidney and has now spread throughout his body. The decline has been shockingly fast and extremely devastating. We are now at the stage where it is a matter of time before our beautiful friend leaves us for the next part of his journey.

Neil’s girls are his everything and entire purpose in life. Becoming a dad gave Neil purpose, fire, love, and pure joy. Reading, sharing music, cooking, caring, and play were his daily joys. Nyah, Luna and Hannah are his best pals, his chief conspirators and number one mischief makers. We need to rally together for them.

And those aren’t his only girls. Claudia brought these joys to his life, and built a family with the strongest bonds we have seen. Their love for each other is fierce, and without her none of this happens. She is going to need financial support for family arrangements, taking time off for the girls, managing on one income and planning for the girl’s future.

A long line of strong women have always surrounded Neil. His mom Catherine taught him how to love and face life with grace and courage. His sister Sara, and her amazing family have been the glue holding everything together, even while facing challenges of their own. This is an incredible family who needs the entire village to get behind them.

We all have our own connection to Neil. Growing up in Elmira from Queen’s and York and his lifelong quest for knowledge; deejay scootz and BeatzMassive and his unparalleled love for music, from deep friendship and connection. We can help now. We’ve been blessed by his presence in our lives, let’s ensure that his legacy continues.

Please give what you can, share this widely and often. Let’s work to help ease one part of the next stage for Claudia and the girls.
