Support Ariana After the Unexpected Loss of Her Mother

Hello friends and family (chosen & blood). I am Andrew, close friend, roommate, and chosen sibling to Ariana Valdes.

As many of you have heard, we unfortunately lost a very bright light in our lives: Ariana’s mother, Linda, passed suddenly the afternoon of January 23 in her home in Arizona. There was no warning for this passing and it has been devastating news to say the least as Ariana and Linda were very, very close.

As Ariana, her cousin Mauricio, and other close confidants of Linda prepare to go through her affects and plan services, I am reaching out to anyone close with Ariana, Linda, or the family (or anyone with a dollar to spare) to donate anything they can to help with the unexpected costs of services, flights/accommodations, and other fees associated with this tragedy.

No amount is too small as everything helps the family during this sad and difficult time. And if you cannot give monetarily at this time, a phone call, text, a visit to our home in New York City, sending over a meal are also welcome ways of support.

Community and quality time are two things that were incredibly important to Linda and have always continued to be very important to Ariana.

I thank you all in advance for your generosity and hope we can rally behind Ariana and her family to make this as supportive and as painless of a process as possible.

Sending love and light wherever you are, if you would like to reach out but need contact information for Ariana, please text or call me.
