Our family has recently lost my loving sister, Miriam Polanco. Miriam was only 40 years old and in her passing, she leaves behind her 6 children; Melvin, Joshua, Brittany, Christopher, Edward, and Anna as well as her 8 grandchildren. 

Though Miriam had her struggles, we remember her as a loving and selfless mother, sister, daughter, and friend. She was an energetic and giving spirit who loved dancing and cooking. Miriam always went the distance for her children, her one speed was "go," and her energy and love will be greatly missed within our family. 

We are asking for donations in order to help our family afford the costs of the services that Miriam deserves and that will help our family to celebrate her life and heal from this loss. 

As a family, we feel so blessed to be able to reach out to our friends and community for help during a time when we want to honor my sister's memory. We thank you so much for donating and sharing to help us properly celebrate a life that we will miss dearly.

As we are trying to hold services as soon as possible, we are hoping to reach our $10,000 goal by Monday, July 13th. Thank you so much again for donating and sharing. God bless.
