This year, our dear sister(in law)/auntie, Tatie Cecile, is hitting the big 7-0, and we need to celebrate her the way she’s spent her life celebrating us.

She’s the kind of person who remembers the little details, shows up even when she’s not asked, and somehow makes every gathering more special. She’s given so much—her time, her care, her poems, her advice—and she never asks for anything in return.

While many of us celebrate our big life events with weddings, baby showers, and other milestones, Tatie Cecile has always been the one in the background, cheering us on. For her 70th birthday, it’s finally time for her to be in the spotlight and receive the love, warmth, and steady presence she’s shared with all of us.

This GoFundMe is set up to help send her on a beautiful trip she’s always dreamed of but would never plan for herself— something relaxing, joyful, and filled with love.

If you’ve ever felt her kindness, her humor, or her quiet strength, now’s your chance to give a little of that love back. Anything you can contribute, no matter how big or small, will help make this happen and show her just how much she’s loved and appreciated. Here’s to Tatie Cecile—seventy years young, endlessly giving, and finally getting her moment to shine.
