Bring Peace to a Beloved Mother's Rest

Donation protected
I never thought I’d be asking for love, support & help to bury my mother. I hadn’t imagined I’d lose my Mother so soon… Life is so unpredictable and surprising in sometimes the most devastating ways.

Before My Mother passed, she dreamed of returning home to Thailand to live out the rest of her days. That was the plan… to finally be able to go back home. It would have finally been the first time with all of us together in Thailand; Mom, Dad, Sisters & Me. That was her wish. My wish is to return her back to her roots like she wanted so she may rest in peace.

We will firstly plan her services here near where she and my father resided. I will post information stating the time and location as soon as we secure a date. Afterwards we will prepare her for her journey home to a gravesite in Bangkok, Thailand near her brothers and our extended family.

As her passing came on unexpectedly, as I suppose all loss unfortunately does, we are quite unprepared financially.

I wish we weren’t delayed by various factors of life: work, bills, sickness, shortcomings, etc. I wish we were all able to accompanying my Mother back home while she was still here … But yet we still smile reminiscing the future we had hoped for and imagined. We look now into the future for the best way to handle our circumstances and ourselves.

We are asking for help to have her buried near her mother in her homeland where she can rest quietly and peacefully.

The goal is the underestimated cost for her transport and proper burial.

Anything at all would honestly be helpful, and we understand if only kind words and support are available to share with us.

This is heart-wrenching and heart-breaking for all of us, but what keeps us going is that I know so many of you out there genuinely loved and adored my mother.

If anything, it would still be just enough and more to simply share a happy memory with us that you shared with my mother. That in itself is priceless.

Thank you all for your love and support <3
Truly.

I keep reminding myself that we are all incredibly blessed to have another angel watching down on us <3
