Rachel's Financial Assistance Fund

Donation protected
Rachel Suaviso was a native of San Andres, Catanduanes, Philippines. She was a former teacher at Araullo High School in Manila before she came to Canada in 2000 as a caregiver. She used to be a member of the Catanduanes International Association. Rachel has been living on her own in Vancouver, BC, Canada until her death last July 10, 2020. She was a very active volunteer at St. Mary's Parish in Vancouver as a lector and as a member of the 8am Sunday Choir. She was known to her friends as a  kind, patient, generous and very religious person.

Rachel was diagnosed of Advance Stage Lung Cancer on April, 2019. She underwent with all the medical procedures with mostly by the help of her friends. Despite her condition, she religiously attending masses in person or via online. She was very optimistic and did not allow her condition to stop her from attending to her religious activities. She is well loved by her friends.

A day before she left, she entrusted her wishes to me and my wife (Jose and Gene) and to one of her close friend, Aida. With her wishes, we, her friends, wanted to provide her with a decent funeral service. the three of us are in-charge of the expenses.

We put up this gofundme account to encourage her friends and relatives, especially those who could not personally extend their financial help due to the pandemic. We hope that through this, we would be able to, at least provide Rachel a decent funeral service.
