Hello we are 5 kids asking for donations to put our Mother Rosa Maria Martinez to rest.

Mom was unstoppable, there was no challenge in life that was too much for her to handle. She never worried about the reasons why something couldn't work out she just persisted forward, never to faultier.

She was a single mother to 5 (at times difficult) kids. With no financial help and somehow still holding onto her sanity she raised us with everything we needed. We never went hungry, or lived without any of life's necessities. And to this day, (with some of us being parents), we still don't understand how she managed. My mom didn't have a lot of money, and sometimes close to none but she could do more with $1 than is theoretically possible. Being able to clothe, feed, maintain health, and participate in holidays with 5 children on your own is nothing short of astounding.

She was our inspiration, our light in the dark, and our tour guide through life.

We'd give all the money in the world for one more hug, one more joke, one more smile, one more conversation, and one more delicious home cooked meal. My mother deserves her final rest to be deserving of who she was. The force that moved the impossible mountains. Unfortunately we are not the miracle worker she was with money. And with small children of our own we are struggling to get the funds needed for her final rest. We are asking for any financial support you can spare to help to us celebrate the love, light, charm and laughter she brought to this world.
