Honoring Steven & Supporting Maria Esther

Donation protected
Maria Esther is a devoted wife, loving mother, and God-fearing woman who has dedicated her life to caring for others. As a homemaker and an active member of her church, she has always been a source of warmth, strength, and kindness to those around her.

However, life has tested her in ways no one should ever have to endure. She tragically lost her husband, then faced the heartbreaking loss of her youngest child, Arlene, just six months ago. Now, only days ago, she has suffered the unimaginable loss of her only remaining child, Steven.

Steven was a source of light and joy—a gifted musician with a passion for using his talents to bring people together. As a missionary, he traveled to many third-world countries, touching lives through worship and music. He gave his all to everything he did, loving deeply and always extending a helping hand to those in need.

After losing his father and sister, Steven became his mother’s greatest source of strength. His love and presence helped Maria Esther navigate overwhelming grief, offering comfort and hope when it seemed impossible to find. He was her rock.

Now, Maria Esther faces the heartbreaking task of laying her last remaining family member to rest—all while bearing the weight of this immense loss alone.

We ask for your kindness and support in helping Maria through this devastating time. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help ease her burden and provide the support she desperately needs. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing her story so that she feels the love and compassion of those around her.

Thank you for your generosity and for keeping Maria Esther in your prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

María Esther es una esposa devota, madre amorosa y una mujer temerosa de Dios que ha dedicado su vida a cuidar de los demás. Como ama de casa y miembro activo de su iglesia, siempre ha sido una fuente de calidez, fortaleza y bondad para quienes la rodean.

Sin embargo, la vida la ha puesto a prueba de maneras que nadie debería tener que soportar. Perdió trágicamente a su esposo, luego enfrentó la dolorosa pérdida de su hija menor, Arlene, hace apenas seis meses. Ahora, hace solo unos días, ha sufrido la inimaginable pérdida de su único hijo restante, Steven.

Steven era una fuente de luz y alegría—un músico talentoso con una pasión por usar sus dones para unir a las personas a través de la música. Como misionero, viajó a muchos países en desarrollo, tocando vidas a través de la adoración y la música. Daba todo de sí en todo lo que hacía, amaba profundamente y siempre extendía una mano amiga a quien lo necesitara.

Después de perder a su padre y a su hermana, Steven se convirtió en el mayor apoyo de su madre. Su amor y presencia ayudaron a María Esther a sobrellevar un dolor abrumador, brindándole consuelo y esperanza cuando parecía imposible encontrarla. Él era su roca.

Ahora, María Esther enfrenta la desgarradora tarea de despedir a su último miembro de familia, mientras carga con el peso de esta inmensa pérdida completamente sola.

Pedimos su amabilidad y apoyo para ayudar a María en este momento devastador. Cualquier contribución, sin importar la cantidad, ayudará a aliviar su carga y brindarle el apoyo que tanto necesita. Si no puede donar, considere compartir su historia para que sienta el amor y la compasión de quienes la rodean.

Gracias por su generosidad y por mantener a María Esther en sus oraciones durante este momento tan difícil.
