Brian's Funeral Expenses
Donation protected
Hi there, to everyone reading this post I am creating this go fund me for my boyfriend and best friend Brian Lona who was 22 years old and passed away January 15th, 2021 from stage four cancer.
Brian was diagnosed with stage four Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumors which is a type of Sarcoma in May 2018. DSRCT is an extremely rare cancer that has only been reported for 200 cases in the United States and he was lucky enough to be able to receive care from UCSF Children’s Hospital. Brian fought SO hard for two and a half years even though he was only given six months to live back in 2018. Brian underwent countless rounds of chemotherapy, had surgeries, and was always in and out of the hospital but he always had a huge smile on his face.
Brian was the most kindhearted, generous, funny, and thoughtful man. Anyone who knew him, knew his goal was to put a smile on your face and he always succeeded. Brian was a good friend to many people and he touched many peoples lives. He had so many plans, so many things he wanted to do with his life but unfortunately that was cut short. In the little time he did have while being sick, he made so many new memories and met so many amazing people. Brian lived a great life and I know we all wish it could’ve lasted longer.
We are trying to raise this money in order to pay for Brian’s funeral, his wishes are to be buried here in Napa where his family and friends can come and visit him. Brian was my best friend and the love of my life. He deserved the world and it hurts deeply that he had to leave it soo soon. Brian’s family and I would appreciate any help that can be given and if you can keep him in your prayers.
Thank you,
Katlin and Brian’s family
