With a heavy heart, I’m sharing that my mother recently passed away (1/10/26). Losing her has been incredibly painful, and our family is navigating both deep grief and the unexpected financial responsibilities that come with saying goodbye to someone we love so dearly.

This fundraiser is to help cover her funeral and memorial expenses in Seattle, allowing us to honor her life with the care, dignity, and respect she deserves. Any support, whether through a donation, a share, or kind words, means more than I can express during this difficult time. Thank you for your compassion and support as we focus on healing and honoring her memory.
