Hello friends and family,

Im trying to raise funds to help with the costs to lay my mother to rest/cremation and any further expenses this loss may have left behind.

My mother, Krista Lynn Martinez, passed April 14th, 2026. She was a mother of 8 children, a firm believer in her faith, and a strong woman. We are devastated, heartbroken, and dumbfounded by this sudden loss. Any amount would be greatly appreciated and we thank you for your support during this dark time in our lives.

I love my mother very much. As her first born child, we grew up together. We became each other's light when we struggled. She was everything to me. I went through all my life learning from her; there wasnt a day where I was left without guidance. She made me feel seen, feel heard whenever I felt invisible to the world. Grounded me whenever my mind got the best of. My heart aches and I dont know how im going to live without her. My whole world ended overnight. She gave me life and everything I have is thanks to her. She is the epitome of resilience, strength, and perseverance. I love you mom forever and always. I got it from here.

I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. To those who have reached out to me personally and those who continue to support us.
