Help Bring Ara Home

This fundraiser was created by Ara’s friends and loved ones to support her family during this heartbreaking time. Together, we want to honor her beautiful life and help her family bring her home.

With heavy hearts, we share that our beloved Ara has passed away. To those who knew her, Ara was a source of light and quiet strength. Her kindness was effortless, her laughter gentle, and her faith unshakable. She carried herself with grace and humility, touching every life she crossed with warmth and love. Ara had dreams as wide as the world and a heart that embraced everyone in it.

Her family will hold a private memorial service in San Diego to celebrate her life and the joy she brought into theirs. Afterward, they will travel to the Philippines to bring Ara home and hold another service surrounded by her relatives and loved ones there.

We are asking for your help to ease the financial burden of cremation, memorial, and travel expenses. Any contribution, no matter the amount. It will greatly help Ara’s family during this unimaginable loss and allow them to focus on honoring her memory.

Thank you for your prayers, your kindness, and your love for Ara and her family. Your support means more than words can express. Through your generosity, we can help bring Ara home and keep her spirit shining in the hearts of all who loved her.
