On November 17th, Alba Valdivia’s life changed forever. Her husband of 27 years, David Valdivia, was tragically killed when a tree suddenly fell while he was out walking their two dogs. This devastating and unexpected accident has left Alba without the partner who was her entire world. Alba and David were each other’s only close family here in America. Their love and devotion to one another were the foundation of their life together, and Alba is now facing unimaginable heartbreak and financial uncertainty.

Alba is a beloved Home Health Aide with Right at Home in Northern Westchester, where she has touched countless lives with her warmth, compassion, and dedication. She also serves her community through the Putnam County Helping Hands program, providing companionship and personal care services to people in need. Alba has always been someone who lifts others up—now she is the one who needs support.

This GoFundMe has been created to help Alba with funeral and memorial expenses, immediate living costs during this crisis, and support as she navigates life without David. Any amount, no matter how small, will truly make a difference. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is also a meaningful way to help. Alba is grieving the loss of her husband, her partner, and her family. Let’s surround her with the generosity and compassion she has so willingly given to others throughout her life. Thank you for your kindness and support.
