Hello, my name is Kaitlyn Doney, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my aunt, Cindy Kwaak.

Cindy is currently in hospice care, nearing the end of her journey after a brave battle with stage 4 lung cancer. Her doctor has told us she may pass at any moment. As our family prepares for this heartbreaking loss, we are also facing the financial burden of her cremation and end-of-life expenses — something we simply cannot manage on our own.

Cindy has lived her life with disabilities, but that never defined who she was. She is a bright, creative, and deeply loving soul. A passionate artist, she finds joy in painting and music, using her creativity as a way to connect with the world. Her art is colorful, expressive, and full of life — just like she is.

Our family is doing everything we can to ensure Cindy is remembered with dignity, respect, and love. We’re asking for your help to raise funds to cover her cremation, memorial arrangements, and any remaining costs. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. If you're unable to give, simply sharing this fundraiser can help more than you know.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read Cindy’s story and for supporting our family during this incredibly difficult time.

With love and gratitude,

Kaitlyn Doney (Cindy’s niece) and family
