Since childhood it’s been my mom, my younger brother, and myself. Moving as  immigrants from the Philippines my mom pursued  a better life for my younger brother and I.  My family and I became U.S.  Citizens  and California Residents looking for a better future. This has been my little family whom I’ve worked  relentlessly  and  persistently hard for! At the age of 18 due to life circumstances I became a man swiftly; as my mom’s mental and physical state gradually  declined due to suffering from  Dementia. As my younger brother picked up the slack around the house and looking after our mom while I was off working a full time job and being a full time student. Then it came to be a very difficult decision when we had to admit mom into an assisted living nursing  facility.  My brother and I were determined to continue to be  optimistic about mom’s health, going to her bedside every week singing her favorite song “All My Loving“ from The Beatles. On 9/11/19 I got the  heartbreaking and disturbing  phone call that my mom has passed away.  While I’m still trying to catch a grip on myself, my brother and I are faced with paying for the funeral cost. We’re asking if you will be  inclined  to help us in anyway you can, we’re beyond grateful for your thoughts, prayers, and assistance during this challenging time. Also 10% of what we raise will be donated to a  Alzheimer’s and Dementia   Foundation.
