Hi, my name is Esther Quintana. I was born on November 4th, 1993, and I was taken from this world far too soon on July 11th, 2025, in a tragic vehicle accident.

I was only 31 years old.

I was a mother before anything else. I had three beautiful children, one boy and two girls. They were my everything. Every choice I made, every step I took, was for them. I may not have had much in this world, but I gave them all the love in my heart. My greatest wish was to see them grow, to guide them through life, and to remind them every day just how deeply they are loved.

I was the light in dark places. I could walk into a room full of strangers and still bring laughter, warmth, and comfort. I didn’t need to be rich to be generous, I gave whatever I could. Whether it was my time, a kind word, or my last dollar. I faced struggles, especially within my family, but I always chose love. Even when it was hard, even when I was hurting, I loved without limits.

They say I was brave, maybe braver than most. I faced pain, heartbreak, and uncertainty, but I still stood tall for those around me. I wanted people to feel safe, seen, and heard. I was far from perfect, but I always tried to do good in this world.

Now, my story has come to a sudden end, far earlier than it should have. My children are left without their mother. My family and friends are left with a hole in their hearts. That’s why this fundraiser exists, to help lay me to rest with dignity and to care for the children I leave behind.

If you’ve found yourself here, thank you. Thank you for taking a moment to hear my story. Whether you donate or share, please know that you are helping carry my love forward.

I may be gone, but my spirit lives on in the laughter of my children, in the memories I left behind, and in the hearts of those who knew me.

With all my love,

Esther aka Bunie Baby
