Help Lay Our Sonia to Rest

Donation protected

My daughter, Sonia, was my first baby, my beginning, and a light that brought immeasurable love and meaning into our lives. She is deeply missed by her two sisters, who adored her, and by all of us who loved her beyond words, her father, her grandmother, her aunts and uncles, her cousins, and even her beloved cat, Shoyo, who was never far from her side. Our family is truly devastated by her loss.

Sonia was a gentle, caring soul with a generous heart. She often spoke of wanting to help me, especially knowing the challenges I face as someone who is low vision and legally blind. I have always done everything within my ability to provide for my children, but my income has only ever allowed us to get by.

Now, as we face the unimaginable pain of saying goodbye, we are also faced with the overwhelming cost of funeral and burial expenses. Even with the love and support of those who cared for Sonia, the financial burden is more than we can manage alone. Our only wish is to give her a modest, loving burial, one that reflects the dignity, warmth, and compassion she carried in her life.

Any support during this time would bring profound relief and gratitude to our family. Alongside grief, I carry a heavy sadness and guilt for not being able to provide this final act of care on my own. She was always thinking of others, always wanting to help, and I know she would never want me, or any of us, to carry this weight alone.

With your kindness and blessings, we hope to honor her memory and lay her to rest with peace, dignity, and love. Any contribution, no matter the size, means more than words can express. Your generosity helps lift a burden from our hearts and allows us to focus on remembering her for the love she gave so freely. We are endlessly grateful for your compassion during this painful time.

Mi hija, Sonia, fue mi primer bebé, mi comienzo, y una luz que trajo un amor y un significado inconmensurables a nuestras vidas. Sus dos hermanas, que la adoraban, y todos nosotros que la queríamos más allá de las palabras, su padre, su abuela, sus tías y tíos, sus primos e incluso su querido gato, Shoyo, que nunca estuvo lejos de su lado. Nuestra familia está realmente destrozada por su pérdida.

-Sonia era un alma dulce y cariñosa con un corazón generoso. Siempre hablaba de querer ayudarme, especialmente sabiendo los retos que enfrento como persona con baja visión y legalmente ciega. Siempre he hecho todo lo posible para mantener an mis hijas, pero mis ingresos solo nos han permitido salir adelante.

-Ahora, mientras enfrentamos el dolor inimaginable de despedirnos, también nos enfrentamos al abrumador coste de los gastos funerarios y de entierro. Incluso con el amor y apoyo de quienes cuidaron de Sonia, la carga económica es mayor de lo que podemos manejar solos. Nuestro único deseo es darle un entierro modesto y amoroso, uno que refleje la dignidad, calidez y compasión que ha llevado en su vida.


-Cualquier apoyo durante este tiempo traería un profundo alivio y gratitud a nuestra familia. Junto al duelo, llevo una tristeza y culpa pesadas por no haber podido proporcionar este último acto de cuidado por mí misma. Siempre pensaba en los demás, siempre quería ayudar, y sé que nunca querría que yo, ni ninguno de nosotros, llevara este peso solo.

-Con su amabilidad y bendiciones, esperamos honrar su memoria y enterrarla con paz, dignidad y amor. Cualquier contribución, sea cual sea su tamaño, significa más de lo que las palabras pueden expresar. Tu generosidad ayuda a aliviar una carga de nuestro corazón y nos permite centrarnos en recordarla por el amor que nos dio tan libremente. Estamos eternamente agradecidos por su compasión durante este momento doloroso.
