On September 1st, heaven gained an angel, my grandma. She was the heart of our family, and her passing has left an emptiness words can’t explain.

My mom devoted herself fully to caring for her in her last months, stepping away from work to make sure grandma was never alone. Now, as she faces grief, the responsibilities of funeral arrangements, and the many family responsibilities that follow, she has no income and unexpected expenses weighing heavily on her.

I am creating this fundraiser to give my mom some light in this dark moment, support to cover burial costs and two months without income. This will give her room to breathe, heal, and focus on honoring grandma’s memory without the added stress of financial strain.

We are humbly asking for help once again, not because it is easy to ask, but because the need is truly there. If you are able, please consider donating or sharing this page. Even the smallest act of kindness makes a difference.

From the depths of my heart, thank you for helping us carry this weight and for holding my mom in your thoughts and prayers.

With love and gratitude,

Valerie & Family
