Help Annette’s Three Little Girls After Unthinkable Loss There are no words that fully capture this pain. Three little girls woke up to a world without their mother. Their mom, Annette Marie Valdez, was taken from them by domestic violence — a violence she tried to escape, a danger she warned about, a system that failed to protect her. Their father is now in jail. Their mother is gone forever. Their entire world has been shattered. Annette was a loving, devoted mother. Everything she did was for her girls. She fought to keep them safe. She followed the steps she was told to take — seeking help, documenting abuse, obtaining protection — and still, her life was taken. Now her daughters are left to carry a trauma no child should ever know. --- ️ WHY THIS FUNDRAISER MATTERS This GoFundMe has been created specifically to support Annette’s three daughters as they begin a long, painful road ahead — one filled with grief, confusion, therapy needs, basic necessities, and rebuilding a sense of safety after unimaginable loss. This fund will help provide: Emotional and trauma therapy Stability and daily necessities Support during court proceedings and major life transitions Resources so these girls can grieve and heal without additional hardship --- ⚠️ IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ There are two separate fundraisers, and we want to be completely transparent: Funeral & memorial expenses for Annette ➡️ Managed by Analisa ✅ That fundraiser is complete and strictly for funeral costs only Support for Annette’s three daughters ➡️ THIS GoFundMe ✅ Managed by Ace ✅ All funds go directly toward the care, stability, and well-being of the girls Please be cautious of scams and only donate through these two verified family fundraisers. --- A MESSAGE FROM THE FAMILY Domestic violence doesn’t just take one life — it leaves children without parents, families broken, and futures forever altered. These girls did nothing wrong. They deserve safety. They deserve healing. They deserve a chance at a life filled with love, despite this tragedy. If you are able to donate, share, or pray — thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you can’t give financially, sharing this helps more than you know. Please help us surround these girls with love, protection, and hope. — The Valdez & Larson Family
