My sister, Deziree Victoria Auelua-Misa, was a beautiful soul—a loving daughter, sister, friend, and above all, an incredible mother. Her children, Manaia and Amari, were her everything, and anyone who knew Deziree felt the warmth of her love and kindness.

As our family grieves her loss, we are also stepping in to make sure her babies are surrounded by love, stability, and support during this heartbreaking transition. We are raising funds to help cover funeral and memorial expenses, and to help provide for the immediate care and future needs of Manaia and Amari. Deziree’s legacy is her unwavering devotion to her children, and we want to honor that by ensuring they continue to feel the love, protection, and support she would have wanted for them.

Any support you can offer means so much to our family. Thank you for helping us celebrate Deziree’s life and for standing with us as we care for her children.
