It is with unimaginable heartbreak that I am asking for help during the most painful time of my life.
On the night of February 9, 2026, my world shattered. My beautiful daughter-only 21 years old, autistic, and deeply loved has passed away from an overdose. There are no words that can fully express the pain of losing a child, especially so suddenly and tragically. I am still trying to breathe through the shock and heartbreak of it all.
As I grieve the loss of my daughter, I am also facing an overwhelming and urgent reality. I need to travel immediately to Clarksville, Tennessee to make funeral arrangements and lay my daughter to rest with the dignity, love, and respect she deserves.
In the midst of this unimaginable loss, my heart is breaking all over again for her children.
I currently have guardianship of her 1-year-old son, and Child Protective Services in Tennessee has custody of her 8-month-old son, whom I must travel to Tennessee to retrieve. These are innocent babies who have just lost their mother, and I am doing everything I can to protect them, bring them together, and keep our family whole during the darkest moment of our lives.
The emotional toll is crushing, and the financial burden of sudden travel, funeral expenses, and caring for two infants is more than I can handle alone. I am humbly asking for help.
Funds raised will help cover:
• Emergency travel to Tennessee
• Funeral and memorial expenses
• Legal and guardianship-related costs
• Immediate needs for my grandchildren
Any amount, no matter how small means more than I can express. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. Your prayers, kindness, and support are deeply appreciated as we try to survive this heartbreak and honor my daughter’s life while caring for her children.
Thank you for standing with us during the most painful time of our lives.Any help will be greatly appreciated
