In Memoriam of Amanda Manarin (Kuma Crafts)

On September 15, 2022, Amanda (Mandi) Manarin, Kuma Crafts artist, passed away suddenly. She was a loving mother to sons Sasha & Max and devoted wife to Stan.

Amanda was 35 years old. She was a wonderful, sweet person, an amazing creator & artist and a loving mother. She was well known as an artist in the anime community, specifically the Sailor Moon community, both in the Toronto area and the extended virtual world.

Amanda’s husband is now having to deal with the difficult task of raising their two young children alone and would really appreciate having time to do what's best for them and not worry about money right now. With Stan’s permission, we are reaching out to the extended Sailor Moon and anime family to help provide financial support to their family.

Losing a loved one is always difficult, but coping with a sudden loss adds a different element to the grieving process. With the winter holidays quickly approaching and all the apparel kids need for Canadian winters, we are are raising money to help support Amanda’s family with anything they might need and to provide Stan with the opportunity to focus on the children and their needs. All funds raised will be going directly to Stan and the boys. No amount of money can replace Amanda, but we hope this will help Stan and the boys during this difficult time.
