Roads Taken

One week until AuggiePalooza

Episode Summary

Auggiepalooza, a celebration of life for previous guest Nakiah Cherry Chinchilla's son August, will take place on August 4, 2023 at the Santa Monica Pier.

Episode Notes

We wanted to provide quick update about a previous set of episodes. Nakiah Cherry Chinchilla was kind enough to share the story of her husband and son's struggles with Huntington's Disease. In March of this year, her son August Gianpiero King Chinchilla passed away.  In just one week, on what would be Auggie's birthday, Nakiah will be holding the celebration of life that Auggie helped planned. As Nakiah says: "While it took many iterations over the years, he never went too far from his original beach party idea. He wanted a party at the Santa Monica Pier and for his friends to ride the rides all day and eat cotton candy. And so that’s what we are going to do!!" Find out more about Auggiepalooza on Facebook or GoFundMe, keep Nakiah and Auggie in your thoughts next Friday, August 4, and be sure to hug those you love.
