Maria’s heart aches for her nieces and nephew, who are facing unimaginable loss after their mother’s tragic passing due to domestic violence. Her youngest niece, just six years old, witnessed the event, and the family is now navigating a world forever changed. In the midst of grief, Maria remembers a promise her sister made: to take the children to Disneyland for her youngest niece’s birthday in 2026. It was a dream her sister spoke about often, hoping to give her kids a magical experience and memories to cherish.

Now, Maria is determined to fulfill that wish. She wants her nieces and nephew to know that, even though their mom is no longer here, they are still surrounded by love and support. Maria hopes this trip will bring them comfort, a sense of normalcy, and a chance to experience joy together. When her niece asked, “Who’s going to take me now?” Maria promised she would. This fundraiser is about keeping that promise and showing the children that their mom’s love lives on through the family.

Maria is asking for help to make this special trip possible. Every contribution will help bring hope and healing to her nieces and nephew, giving them a chance to create new memories and honor their mother’s wish. Thank you for supporting this journey and helping Maria show her family that, even in the hardest times, kindness and love can make a difference.
