Hi, my name is Michaelynn Eizzle Perez Mendiola and I’m creating this GoFundMe for my mother’s funeral services and memorial. All excess funds will be used to take care of her disabled husband, Michael Mendiola, 16-year-old son Mitchell and myself as their primary caretaker. 

MariaElena Bautista Perez-Mendiola was an amazing woman. She was fully devoted to the Catholic church as an active member of the Legion of Mary at St. Patrick’s. She also taught Pre-K at her home parish, St. Ann’s. MariaElena was an amazing wife and mother, not to mention a loving daughter and sister. She had a big heart and cared immensely for everyone around her. The loss of my mother weighs heavy. To every single person who knew her, please know you were in her heart just as much as she was in yours.

By no means should you feel obligated to donate. My family and I are appreciative of anything coming from your heart. Thoughts and prayers are just as important as monetary donation.
