Donate in memory of Faith Smith for her Celebration of Life
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Christine, and I’m fundraising in memory of my beloved sister, Faith.
I was so blessed to be Faith’s sister and to have shared so many beautiful moments with her. Being so close in age, we weren’t just sisters—we were best friends growing up.
All funds raised will go towards making Faith’s Celebration of Life as beautiful as she was, both inside and out. Her memory will be honored in two places she loved deeply: here in Canada, and in Belize. Faith was cherished by so many, and she gave her love freely—to family, friends, and her four-legged fur babies.
On April 26th, Faith was rushed to the hospital after suffering a brain bleed. She slipped into a coma and was placed on life support. On April 29th, the angels called her home far too soon. The next day, on April 30th, Faith made her final, selfless act—donating her organs to give others a second chance at life.
Faith’s love, kindness, and generosity were woven into everything she did—especially her deep compassion for animals. She fostered and re-homed hundreds of abused or homeless dogs in Belize, many of whom she brought to loving families in Canada, often at her own expense. She even once cared for a monkey named Paul.
Faith’s Canadian Celebration of Life will be held on June 7th at Jolly Mac’s Pub in Surrey, with a second celebration in Belize this July. It is our family’s wish that all of Faith’s loved ones can come together to share memories, laughter, and tears as we honor her legacy and begin to process this heartbreaking loss.
Donations will help cover the cost of venues, food, and Faith’s final care. Any contribution—no matter the size—is deeply appreciated as we navigate life without her, forever loving, remembering, and holding her close in our hearts.
Please share this GoFundMe to help us reach our goal in celebrating Faith’s beautiful life.
Rest in peace, our sweet angel Faith.
