In Loving Memory of Maria Salinas Leyva – Gaining Her Wings

In Loving Memory of Maria Salinas Leyva – Gaining Her Wings

Our hearts are broken. Just weeks ago, we were helping our mom, Maria Salinas Leyva, prepare to fight Stage 4 liver cancer. We thought we had more time. But God had other plans. She didn’t pass from cancer, but from sudden and unexpected medical complications that took her from us far too soon.

While our pain is deep, we take comfort in knowing she has gained her wings and is now at peace in a better place — free from pain, surrounded by God’s love.

Maria was the heart of our family — a devoted mother of 7, grandmother of 10, and soon-to-be great-grandmother of 13. She lived a life of sacrifice, faith, and kindness, always putting others first. She had no life insurance or savings, only a lifetime of giving to those she loved.

Her passing was so sudden that we were left unprepared, both emotionally and financially. We are humbly asking for help to give her the beautiful and dignified farewell she deserves — one that reflects the love she poured into everyone she met.

Any amount, no matter the size, will help us lay her to rest. If you cannot donate, please share this page and keep our family in your prayers.

With love and gratitude,

The Salinas / Ybarra Family
