<div>This fundraiser was made to honor Michelle and her wishes by her chosen family. As someone she referred to as a big sister I want to honor her and for her to be remembered for who she truly was.

<div>On August 22, 2025, our beloved Michelle Vazquez passed away at just 23 years old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Michelle was more than a Daughter, sister, and friend— She was a bright light in every life she touched. She was a proud expert monorail operator at Disney World, a job she adored and excelled at. She loved sharing the magic with guests every day. She was a passionate My Little Pony lover, and loved attending conventions with her friends. She found joy in the little things—especially spending time with her dog Aiko, who was her world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Michelle loved deeply and gave wholeheartedly. But behind her bright smile, she struggled with pain that became too heavy to carry. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a family, we are heartbroken. We never imagined having to say goodbye this soon. We’re now faced with the unimaginable task of laying our child to rest and honoring her memory in a way that reflects the love, joy, and uniqueness she brought into the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for help to raise $15,000 to cover funeral and memorial expenses. Every donation, no matter how small, helps relieve a heavy burden during the most difficult moment of our lives. If you're not able to give, sharing this fundraiser is deeply appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Michelle deserved more time, and we will love and miss her forever. Thank you for standing with our family, and for helping us give her the farewell she deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>The Vazquez Family
</div>
<div><br />
