Marta Cruz Fund

Donation protected
Please help me raise money for Marta’s cremation, and fees associated with sending her Ashes and her personal belongings to her mother in Poland . Marta had no family in US and was an only daughter. Marta went to ER Thursday last week as she was really sick , respiratory infection, she was sent home with medication which made her significantly worse over the weekend. She lived alone with the love of her life , her rescued dog Rudy. She had passed away presumably on Sunday and was found dead last night , with her dog cuddled next to her . Her amazing neighbor (and her family) plus a friend have been working all night to find her family members in Poland. We are all heart broken as she was so full of life , love , compassion. I have known Marta since 2008 as she interned at my place of employment and was so excited for official interview for a homeless outreach at the shelter I work for. She was passionate about helping others in need , she was fierce and honest , strong woman. She was taken from this world to soon . Please help us reunite her with her mother , as I can’t imagine the horrible pain her mother is going through unable to give her daughter a resting place and saying last goodbye to her only child. Basia her friend is setting in motion a memorial at the place of cremation ( cost included with cremation) so everyone here can pay their respect to Marta.( will update with more info on it when all will be set) Every cent matters. Thank you for any donations on behalf of her family and friends.
