Hello, my name is Dayana, I am raising money for my mother’s cremation. My mother, Aura Gonzalez, was a loving and hardworking woman who always did her best for our family. She was 43 years old and had been battling depression for some time. She struggled to maintain a steady job, which lead to her turning to alcohol as a way to cope. In the months leading up to her passing, she fought hard to overcome her addiction, but the damage to her liver and kidneys had already taken a toll on her body. Despite her struggles, my mom never stopped trying to be strong for us, her children. Even in her hardest moments, she held on with love and resilience. It was her wish to becremated, and we are raising funds to honor that wish and to provide some support to our family. Any donation, no matter the size, would mean the world to us. If you’re unable to give, sharing this fundraiser would also be deeply appreciated. Thank you to anyone who donates or helps spread the word.
