Support for Susan’s Family After Her Passing

Donation protected
My beautiful sister, Susan Allala, passed away on Tuesday, January 6, 2026, after a courageous battle with metastatic breast cancer. Diagnosed at stage IV in 2020, Susan fought for more than five years with remarkable grace, dignity, and strength. She was never one to complain and remained a constant source of love and resilience for her family and for everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

I am creating this GoFundMe at Susan’s own request, with the hope of easing the financial burden she knew would be left behind for her husband, Leonard, and their daughters. Susan’s final days were spent in the hospital, adding to the already overwhelming medical bills that had accumulated throughout her illness. This added financial strain will make the coming months especially difficult as the family begins to navigate life without her.

All funds raised will go directly to Leonard and the family to help cover medical bills during this difficult time. If you are able to contribute, any amount would be deeply appreciated and will make a meaningful difference. We are truly grateful for your love, prayers, and support. Please also consider sharing this fundraiser so others who wish to help have the opportunity to do so.

Thank you for honoring Susan’s life and for surrounding her family with kindness and compassion during this incredibly difficult time.
