<div>It is with hearts shattered, we are asking for help to honor the life of our incredible daughter, sister, aunt and friend, Ayrica, who passed away suddenly at the age of 15.
</div>
<div>Ayrica was a shining light in this world—a hilarious, bright, smart, and profoundly caring soul. She had a wonderful, fierce spirit and an imagination that soared. Her love for Star Wars was well-known, and it was no surprise her biggest dreams involved the sky and the frontier: she aspired to be either a pilot or a bounty hunter. She lived with a passion and drive that was inspiring to everyone who knew her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To know Ayrica was to laugh with her. She had a remarkable gift for making others feel seen and loved. Her absence leaves a void that can never be filled, and our family is struggling to cope with this sudden, unimaginable loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our Need: Laying Ayrica to Rest
</div>
<div>We were not prepared for the emotional or financial burden of saying goodbye to Ayrica so soon. This GoFundMe is being established to help cover the costs of her funeral and memorial expenses, allowing us to give her the proper farewell and celebration of life she deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward these expenses and provide our family with the necessary time and space to grieve without the overwhelming stress of financial hardship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please share this campaign and keep our family in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your love, support, and for helping us remember our beautiful Ayrica.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>May the force be with her, always.
</div>
