Maramoni (Moni) Harvey lost her beautiful daughter, Alyssa Paige, unexpectedly last Saturday. Anyone who has ever met Moni knows how much she loves her daughter and the special bond they have always shared. Obviously, Moni is beyond devastated. She's suffered a tremendous loss and is overcome with grief, but she is also facing situations where she must take care of things, plan a memorial, make decisions, and it's completely overwhelming. At the very least, she is not going to be able to work for a few weeks.

We spoke earlier today and I asked what her needs are and how we could help alleviate even a tiny piece of her concerns so that she can have a moment to grieve the loss of her daughter without worrying about how she will be able to take care of the things that she needs to. Maramoni's own words are pasted below. Please consider helping her if you are in a position to. And please keep the prayers coming for Maramoni, Alyssa's 3 children, and all her friends and family.

"I lost my beautiful sweet girl Alyssa Paige Denker this past week-end. As her mother, I feel like I am dying inside. I love her so much!!! It's almost like it's not real but then reality sets in and I KNOW it's real. I will be planning a Celebration of Life for my baby. I want to honor Alyssa in the best way possible and have her family & friends be able to say a proper good-bye. Unfortunately, these are expenses that I wasn't prepared for. Alyssa's son, my grandson, Brody's family has offered to help with the cremation, and I appreciate this so much, but I want to be able to contribute something. I am reaching out to friends, family, the community for support during the worst time of my life. I am absolutely unable to work for at least 3 weeks. I know that life must go on but I am still processing this DEVESTATING and completely unexpected news that makes me question HOW can I go on, and I know I'll never be the same person again.

Right now my concern is about being able to honor my beautiful girl, Alyssa."
