Dear Friends, Family, and Compassionate Supporters,

 I find myself in a heart-wrenching situation, as my beloved mother, Amalia Quijon, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly due to a stroke. The pain of losing her is immeasurable, and the distance between us, with me residing in Japan and her in the Philippines, has made this loss even more profound. 

 I am eternally grateful for the time I had with her last July when we were able to share precious moments and create lasting memories together. Those moments are now etched in my heart and have become even more precious in light of her passing. 

 Today, I reach out to you with a heavy heart and a simple yet profound wish — to say my final goodbyes to my dear mother and honor her memory in a dignified way. Due to the geographical separation and the unexpected nature of her passing, I am faced with travel expenses to reach the Philippines and funeral costs that were never anticipated. 

 Our goal is to raise $15,000, which will help cover: 
 1. **Travel Expenses:** This includes the cost of flights, accommodations, and any necessary quarantine measures to ensure a safe journey to the Philippines.  
2. **Funeral Costs:** These expenses encompass the funeral service, including the burial or cremation, casket, transportation, and all associated costs. 

Every contribution, no matter the amount, brings me closer to fulfilling my wish of being with my mother during her final moments and ensuring she receives the farewell she deserves. Your support will not only help me reunite with her in spirit but also help ease the financial burden brought about by this unexpected tragedy. 

 I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who reads this and considers contributing or sharing our campaign. Your kindness and generosity during this profoundly challenging time are deeply appreciated. 

Please share this campaign with your network, and let's come together to remember Amalia Quijon and help her journey to her final resting place be one of grace and love.
 With profound gratitude,
Anne Gabey (Mrs.Dee Penda)
