Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

For the past three long years, our mom, Amy Cardinal, fought a brave and heartbreaking battle with breast cancer. Through it all, she remained a devoted mother who loved fiercely, gave endlessly, and did everything she could to keep her children safe, loved, and cared for.

A few days ago, we had to say goodbye to her, and our world hasn’t been the same since. The silence she left behind is overwhelming, and we are still trying to process life without her.

Now, our four younger siblings, Alex, Sadie, Landen, and Vincent, are learning how to live in a world without their mom. We are all doing everything in our power to keep them safe, supported, and surrounded by love during this unimaginable time. But the truth is, grief does not stop life’s responsibilities. Bills don’t stop. Food doesn’t stop. School doesn’t stop.

This GoFundMe is focused on supporting our younger siblings and providing the stability and security our mom would have wanted for them. All funds raised will go toward:

• Ongoing emotional and financial support 

• Ongoing educational support and necessities  

• Post secondary education fees

Our mom was beyond loved, and the outpouring of support has shown just how many lives she touched. She was our strength. She was our comfort. She was our home. And now, we are doing everything we can to honor her by caring for the children she loved more than anything.

If you are able to donate, even the smallest amount makes a difference. If you cannot, sharing this page means more than you know.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, kindness, and support.

With love and gratitude,

Tiana Ruiz & Abigail Diem
