Hi, my name is Sanya and I am 19 years old. I am writing this with a heavy heart to ask you for help and support during the most difficult time in my life.

On July 21 at 4:55 AM, I lost my beloved mother, Jackie. My mother was the kindest person; she loved everyone no matter how she was treated in return. She was strong, compassionate, and gave all that she could even when she had very little. Over time, her health began to decline, but I truly believed she would be with me forever. Her passing was sudden and devastating. I was not prepared emotionally or financially to say goodbye so soon.

I am a recent graduate of Menlo Atherton High School, just starting a new chapter in my life, but this tragedy has put everything on hold. I want more than anything to lay my mother to rest with the dignity and peace she deserves. Unfortunately, I do not have the means to cover the funeral or burial expenses.

That’s why I’m reaching out to you and to the community for help. Any donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward covering the cost of her services. If you are able to help or even just to share, it would mean the world to me. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any support you can give during this heartbreaking time.

With love and gratitude,

-Sanya
