Help Us Lay Our Beloved Mother & Grandmother to Rest

It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we share the passing of Jaqueline Czel, Aliyah’s beloved grandmother, who left us far too soon on August 11, 2025. Born on February 7, 1971, she lived a life filled with love, resilience, and unwavering dedication to her family and community. A woman who touched the lives of everyone who knew her. She was more than just a grandmother—she was a mother, a mentor, a friend, and the heart of our family.

She raised her daughter with unwavering strength, selflessness, and love. Through every hardship, she remained the rock of our family—always putting others before herself, always offering a warm smile, a listening ear, and a heart full of compassion.

In recent years, my mother faced difficult challenges. She had been unemployed due to layoffs in the education system—an industry she dedicated so much of her time and passion to. Budget cuts and economic struggles made it impossible for her to return to the work she loved. Despite these hardships, she never complained. She continued to give all she could to her family and her community.

Now, we wish to bring her back to NY from Florida one last time to be with her family. As we face the painful task of saying goodbye, we are humbly asking for help to give her the peaceful and dignified farewell she deserves. Funeral costs have placed a financial burden on our family, and we are reaching out during this incredibly difficult time for any support you can offer.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to honoring her memory in the way she truly deserves. If you’re unable to give, we completely understand—sharing this campaign or keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers is just as meaningful.

Thank you for your kindness, your love, and your support.

With gratitude,

Her daughter, Salvadora.
