Madi Rose Fuhrman is a deeply caring human being. She dedicated so much of her life to supporting those less fortunate than her. She traveled the world to places like Malawi and Thailand for this service. Her career as a nurse enabled her to be there for people in some of their most vulnerable times. She’s always there to listen and support her loved ones and strangers alike. She was always more kind to others than she was to herself.

In memory of my brother, Call Richmond Jr, who asked for so little, but gave so much. Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed. You are always in our hearts.
Remembering Nick (1990-2016) whose memorial fund, the Nick Gomez-Hall Artists Fund, has supported deserving organizations Nick would have cared about, and now supports CURESZ. Nicky was not affected by serious mental illness but his parents, knowing about its effect on our family, asked us to recommend a recipient for a donation. We love them so much for that!
