In memory of Rosanne Chavez
Donation protected
For those who have had the opportunity to know my mother, Rosanne Chavez, many would agree that the influence she left on most was one of laughter. My mom was known for her lightheartedness, her incredible work ethic, and her crude sense of humor. On August 11, 2023, my mother passed while on hospice care in her home with my brother and I. This experience has come as a tremendous shock. Having been diagnosed with stage four liver cancer in June of this year, we had very little time to prepare, let alone process the circumstances that quickly played out. My mom had very little put into place in case of this sort of incident. Unfortunately, due to the lack of familial guidance and support, I alone have been left to figure out every aspect of the practical, legal, and financial sides of this. I’ve been left feeling alone and overwhelmed with the entire situation. The more digging I do, the more I find debt and secrets. On top of this, I’ve been left paying the bills on her house, while attempting to clean it out myself. I hope to prepare it to be sold in the coming months. While I work full time and am still having to maintain my own personal bills as well, all of this is becoming a lot to handle.
I have yet to be able to write an obituary, let alone plan a memorial or funeral but fully have the intention of doing so once I have the means. In writing this, I’m asking for any donations or support of any kind. I appreciate everyone that has stepped forward recently and kindly ask that you periodically check in with me. I need connection now more than ever. Thank you for your support.
