Help China Say Goodbye to Her Sister Bea

Aloha, my name is China, and I’m raising funds to travel back home to the Philippines to say goodbye to my sister, Bea.

Bea was not just my sister, she was my best friend and my second mom. She guided me, protected me, and loved me in ways only a sister can. She was full of light, full of love, and full of dreams. She touched so many lives through her kindness, service, and faith.

After a long battle with a heart condition called Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), my Ate Bea passed away. She was only 27 years old.

I am currently in Hawaii, and being far away during this time has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. My heart longs to be home with my family, to grieve with them, to be part of Ate Bea’s funeral, and to honor her the way she deserves.

This GoFundMe is to help me go home to the Philippines and to help support funeral costs for my sister. The travel expenses and remaining hospital bills are too much for my family to carry alone.

If you are able to help in any way, no matter how small, it would mean the world to me and my family. Your help will bring me one step closer to hugging my parents again, to saying goodbye to my sister in person, and to helping lay her to rest.

Thank you for your love, your prayers, and your support.

From the bottom of my heart, maraming salamat po.

With love and hope,

China
