My mother, Brenda Lei Hartman (2/16/1963 – 12/5/2025), passed away unexpectedly, leaving my father and me with the difficult responsibility of handling her final arrangements. We are now facing a significant bill for her cremation, and on top of that, my father has lost half of his income, making it impossible for him to afford to stay where he is living. This has been an incredibly challenging time for our family, both emotionally and financially, as we try to honor Brenda’s memory and ensure her final wishes are fulfilled.

We are raising funds to cover the costs of Brenda's cremation, secure her ashes, and complete her final rights. Every contribution will go directly toward these expenses, helping us bring my mother home and provide her with the dignity she deserves. Your support will also help ease the financial burden on my family as we navigate this new reality without her by our side.

To anyone who is willing to give their support to my family in this most difficult time, I want to show my utmost gratitude and appreciation. Anyone who finds themselves here and cannot donate, all I ask is to keep my family in your prayers. Your kindness, whether through a donation or a simple thought, means the world to us right now. Thank you for being here and for caring.
