Hi, my name is Ariel, and I’m reaching out with a heart that’s broken but full of love and determination.

On 7/6/2025, my beloved mom tragically took her own life. Her loss was sudden and deeply painful. She was so much more than what this world gave her credit for — fiercely loving, compassionate, and the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her back, even when she had nothing left to give.

Now, as her only child and next of kin, I’ve been left with the overwhelming responsibility of handling all of her final arrangements — funeral expenses, after-death closures, and everything in between. I want to give my mom the respect and dignity she truly deserves that she never truly got in life, and I simply can’t do it alone.

This GoFundMe is to help cover:

• Funeral and burial or cremation costs

• Temporary financial adjustments

• Transportation and legal fees

• Grief support and counseling needs

No donation is too small. Every dollar, every share, every kind word — it all helps. If you can’t give financially, please share this with others. That alone means the world to me.

I never imagined I’d be writing this, but here I am — trying to honor the woman who gave me life, who tried so hard to love through her pain, who deserved so much more peace than she got. And now it’s my turn to carry her with love and give her the sendoff she never would have asked for, but so deeply deserved.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for being part of this healing in any way you can.

With all my heart,

Ariel
