<div>On April 30th, 2025, our beloved <strong>Yolanda</strong> <strong>Marquez</strong> <strong>Burns</strong> passed away shortly after receiving a medical prognosis of illness due to an aggressive type of cancer. She was a young 40 year old mother, who loved spending time with her sons and doing fun activities. She was full of life, laughter and her strongest strength was in encouraging the boys’ individual artistic talents. She proudly shared their music and art with friends and family, giving them the confidence that when they set their mind on something, they could accomplish any goal. Yolanda added a puppy, now adult dog, to their family and her sons cherish him. He is a beautiful, well mannered, Golden Doodle named Canelo. She shared so much joy having Canelo and often spoke about him. She even celebrated Canelo’s birthdays with festive decor and creative dog treats, inviting her sons in celebration of their beloved pet. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Yolanda was more than a daughter, mother, sister, and friend - she was the heart of our family. Her strength, compassion, and radiant spirit lifted everyone around her. She gave selflessly, cared deeply, and made every space she entered warmer with her presence.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Now, in the wake of her sudden passing, her oldest son, <strong>Giovanni</strong> is facing an unimaginable challenge because he lived with Yolanda and shared household responsibilities and expense. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Recently laid off, he now finds himself in the uncertainty of how he’ll keep living in the home they shared together. On top of mourning the loss of his mother, also with a loss of income, Giovanni is now at risk of losing the space where her memory lives in every room.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Were asking on his behalf for help raising <strong>$7,500</strong> to give Giovanni the time and support he needs to mourn, get back on his feet independently and cover housing cost. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your generous donations will help cover 6 months of essential living expenses, including;

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Rent</strong>

</div>

<div><strong>Electricity</strong>

</div>

<div><strong>Trash Pickup</strong>

</div>

<div><strong>Pet Care</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Estimating monthly cost of $1,250</strong>.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This modest goal gives Giovanni breathing room - to mourn, to process, and to build a cushion of financial support without the immediate threat of housing insecurity. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>While Yolanda’s family is currently focused on final expenses and honoring her life with a proper memorial, any support you can give to Giovanni - whether it’s a donation, or simply keeping him in your prayers - is deeply appreciated. Every act of kindness helps carry him through this heartbreaking time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for helping us honor Yolanda’s memory by standing with her son during his time of greatest need. ❤️

<div>El 30 de abril de 2025, nuestra querida <strong>Yolanda</strong> <strong>Márquez</strong> <strong>Burns</strong> falleció poco después de recibir un diagnóstico médico de una enfermedad causada por un tipo de cáncer agresivo. Tenía solo 40 años y era una madre joven que amaba pasar tiempo con sus hijos y hacer actividades divertidas. Estaba llena de vida y risas, y su mayor fortaleza era alentar los talentos artísticos individuales de sus hijos. Compartía con orgullo su música y arte con amigos y familiares, dándoles la confianza de que, cuando se proponían algo, podían lograr cualquier meta.

</div>

<div>Yolanda agregó un perrito a la familia, ningún perro adulto, y sus hijos lo aman. Es un hermoso Golden Doodle bien educado llamado Canelo. Ella sentía tanta alegría con Canelo y hablaba de él con frecuencia. Incluso celebraba los cumpleaños de Canelo con decoraciones festivas y golosinas creativas, invitando a sus hijos a celebrar a su querida mascota.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Yolanda fue más que una hija, madre, hermana y amiga: fue el corazón de nuestra familia. Su fortaleza, compasión y espíritu radiante levantaban a todos a su alrededor. Daba de sí misma sin esperar nada a cambio, se preocupaba profundamente por los demás, y hacía que cada lugar donde estaba se sintiera más cálido con su presencia.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Ahora, tras su repentina partida, su hijo mayor, <strong>Giovanni</strong>, enfrenta un desafío inimaginable, ya que vivía con Yolanda y compartía responsabilidades y gastos del hogar. Tras haber sido despedido recientemente, ahora se encuentra ante la incertidumbre de cómo podrá seguir viviendo en el hogar que compartían. Además de llorar la pérdida de su madre, también enfrenta la pérdida de ingresos, y ahora corre el riesgo de perder el lugar donde su memoria vive en cada rincón.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Estamos pidiendo ayuda en representación de él para recaudar<strong> $7,500</strong> y así darle a Giovanni el tiempo y apoyo que necesita para vivir su duelo, recuperar estabilidad y cubrir los costos de vivienda.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sus generosas donaciones ayudarán a cubrir 6 meses de gastos esenciales, que incluyen:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Alquiler</strong>

</div>

<div><strong>Electricidad</strong>

</div>

<div><strong>Recolección de basura</strong>

</div>

<div><strong>Cuidado de la mascota</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Costo mensual estimado: $1,250</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Esta meta modesta le da a Giovanni un respiro: para llorar, procesar, y construir una base de apoyo financiero sin la amenaza inmediata de perder su hogar.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Mientras la familia de Yolanda se enfoca actualmente en los gastos finales y en honrar su vida con un memorial apropiado, cualquier apoyo que puedan ofrecer a Giovanni—ya sea una donación o simplemente tenerlo en sus oraciones—será profundamente agradecido.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Cada acto de bondad lo ayuda a atravesar este momento tan doloroso.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Gracias por ayudarnos a honrar la memoria de Yolanda apoyando a su hijo en su momento de mayor necesidad. ❤️

</div>
