Dear Family, Friends, and Compassionate Supporters,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Maricel Tacas Juan, who fought bravely against a long illness. Maricel's spirit, strength, and love for her family and friends will never be forgotten. She was a devoted mother, daughter, and friend, always putting others before herself. Now, in her final moments, we want to honor her by bringing her home to Lodi, California, where her family can lay her to rest.

Why We Are Fundraising:

Maricel’s journey took her far from home to Texas, where she fought her illness with courage. Unfortunately, due to the nature of her illness, we are faced with the financial and emotional burden of transporting her back to Lodi for her final resting place.

The costs associated with bringing her home, including transportation and funeral expenses, are significant. We are asking for your help to cover these expenses and ensure that Maricel’s family can be with her during this challenging time.

Amount Needed: $10,000

How the Funds Will Be Used:

Transportation costs to bring Maricel back to Lodi, California

Funeral and burial expenses

Any additional costs related to the family's travel and accommodation during this process

How You Can Help:

We understand that not everyone can donate, but every share, prayer, and word of encouragement means the world to us. If you are able to contribute, your support will make it possible for Maricel's family to say their final goodbyes, bring her home, and give her the peaceful farewell she deserves.

Please help us honor Maricel's memory and bring her home. Your generosity will make a difference during this heartbreaking time.

Thank you for your love, support, and kindness.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Rodney Paiste
