On May 6th, my family received the worst news anyone could imagine. My step mom, Dona, passed away unexpectedly, leaving us heartbroken and trying to navigate life without her. She was the heart of our family, always caring for others and bringing joy to everyone she met. Her loss has left a huge void in our lives, and we are doing our best to support each other through this difficult time.

We are raising funds to help cover funeral expenses, living costs for my dad and stepsister, and the cost to bring Dona home to Guam, where she can be laid to rest with her loved ones. The financial burden is overwhelming, and any support will help us honor Dona’s memory and provide stability for our family as we move forward.

To everyone who has reached out, checked in on us, or asked how they can help, we greatly appreciate all the love and support. Dona is well loved not just by her family but by her community. Your kindness means the world to us, and we are grateful for any help you can offer during this time.
