Victoria Perez was my beautiful 16-year-old daughter, and her life was taken far too soon in a senseless act of violence. She had her whole future ahead of her, with so many dreams, milestones, and memories still waiting to be made. Losing Victoria has left me and our family heartbroken, and we are trying to face a pain no mother should ever have to endure.

Instead of planning for my daughter’s future, I am now faced with the heartbreaking responsibility of planning her funeral. On top of that, Victoria must be transported from Florida to New Jersey to be laid to rest, which adds another heavy financial burden during this devastating time.

The funds raised will help cover Victoria’s funeral expenses, burial costs, transportation from Florida to New Jersey, travel for family members, lost time from work as we grieve and support one another, and ongoing household bills that do not stop even in the middle of tragedy.

I know nothing can bring my daughter back or take away this pain, but any donation, no matter the amount, would help ease some of the financial pressure on our family as we lay Victoria to rest. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping us in your prayers. Thank you for supporting my family during this unimaginable loss.
