Celebration of Life for Beatriz Mendoza

Donation protected
Dearest family and friends:

Our beloved Beatriz died in the hospital in Miami on the evening of Wednesday, November 21st, surrounded by an incredible web of family and devoted friends and caregivers. We sang to her as she passed, and for hours afterwards, and covered her bed with the beautiful flowers that filled her room for her final weeks of life. Bea received blessings in many languages, from across many faiths. Her passing was beautiful, heartbreaking, tender, held collectively, and fully befitting so glorious a person whose embrace of life was so wide and so deep.

The outpouring of love and support has been humbling to say the least, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you so much to people who have already donated. Your support has covered the cost of health care and her end of life celebrations. Words are inadequate to describe the relief that your support provided this family during this time.

If you feel moved to donate in remembrance of Bea, Zac and his close friends and family (aka the LoveDogs) will also be participating in the Cycle for Survival this January, to beat rare cancers. Donations to his team  will help other families by funding research at Sloan Kettering Memorial, where Bea was a patient in New York. 

Thank you,
Thank you,
Thank you.
-Bea's Support Team

Hello, dearest friends. If you're looking at this page it's because you were directly invited to view it- so we know you understand the situation to some degree.

Originally this GoFundMe was set up to offset some of the costs of Beatriz's home nursing support. Thank you to all that donated so far. Beatriz passed away, surrounded by beloved family and friends on November 21st 2018. Loved ones continue to raise money in this time of love and grief. Funds raised here will go towards Beatriz's funeral and celebration of life arrangements, final medical bills and other vitally important items in this time of transition.

If it is within your means to donate to this fund, we deeply appreciate it. We also understand that not everyone can contribute in this way- so we also want to remind you that we are collecting everyone's digital messages for Bea's friends, family and community at messagesforbea.tumblr.com . We'd love to hear from you. <3


P.S. For complete transparency we want to let everyone know that we have named Enid Duany (Bea's mother) as the beneficiary on this gofundme campaign. <3
