Hi everyone, My name is Somona Mcilwain, and I’m reaching out during the most difficult time of my life. I recently lost both my son and my husband, and the pain of their absence is something I cannot put into words. They were my world—my source of love, strength, and joy—and losing them so close together has shaken my entire life.

As I navigate my grief, I am trying to give them the proper memorial they deserve. I want to place beautiful, respectful headstones to honor their memory—a place where family and friends can visit, reflect, and keep their spirits alive in our hearts. Unfortunately, the cost of headstones and burial expenses has become more than I can manage on my own. I am humbly asking for support from my community, friends, and anyone willing to help. Any amount, no matter how small, will bring me closer to giving them the dignified resting place they deserve. If you are unable to donate, I completely understand—sharing this campaign means just as much. Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and prayers during this heartbreaking time. Your support truly means everything to me. With love, Somona Mcilwain
