Help Us Lay Our Sweet Hannah to Rest

My name is Leandra, and I am a mother learning how to breathe through the unthinkable.

On December 27th 2025, my beautiful five-year-old daughter, Hannah, passed away in a tragic accident. Our world stopped that day.

Hannah was autistic, mostly nonverbal, and profoundly gentle. She experienced the world through wonder, through light reflecting on walls, the feel of water on her hands, the quiet magic most people rush past. She did not need many words to be understood. Her presence spoke for her. Her love was felt, deeply.

Hannah was innocence itself. She was joy without condition. She was curiosity wrapped in softness. And she was so deeply loved.

Her passing has left an ache that reaches into every corner of our home. Her siblings, who adored her, are grieving a sister who brought light into their lives simply by being near. I am now holding their pain while carrying my own, trying to guide them through a loss that no family should ever have to endure.

I am humbly asking for help with funeral and memorial expenses, so that we may lay Hannah to rest with the care, beauty, and dignity she deserves. As a single mother of six, this unexpected loss has brought both emotional devastation and immediate financial strain during an already fragile time.

Your support will help cover:

• Funeral and memorial services for Hannah

• Burial or cremation expenses

• Immediate costs related to honoring her life

If you cannot donate, please know that sharing this fundraiser, holding our family in your thoughts, or speaking Hannah’s name aloud is a gift in itself.

Hannah’s life, though heartbreakingly short, was meaningful.

✨️ She taught us gentleness.

✨️ She taught us presence.

✨️ She taught us that love does not require words.

Thank you for helping us honor our sweet girl.

With love and gratitude,

Leandra
