Hello everyone I’m Kristina Alaiias mommy

I come to you with the heaviest heart—on June 5th, I lost my only daughter. She was just 1 year old. A tragic accident when she was only 4 months old left her on life support, and despite all hope and prayers, she was declared brain dead. She wasn’t just my baby—she was my best friend, my twin, my everything.

But even in the middle of this heartbreaking tragedy, my daughter became a true hero. She gave the gift of life to others—donating her heart to a 1-year-old girl, her liver to a 2-year-old, and her kidneys to a 36-year-old man. Her legacy will live on through them, and one day, I hope to meet the people carrying a piece of my little girl. Her strength will never be forgotten.

I never imagined I’d be here, writing this. Losing a child is a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone. She didn’t even get a chance to live her life before it was taken away. Now, she’s with God—safe and at peace.

I’m asking for help during this devastating time. I have no income right now, and I’m still raising my two autistic sons, who need me to be strong. I’ve spent everything I have trying to honor my daughter’s memory and make arrangements, but I’m emotionally and financially exhausted.

If you are able, please consider helping. I’m trying to get an urn and memorial jewelry to keep her ashes close to me, and there’s still so much I need to take care of. Every little bit counts—a small donation, a share, even just a prayer.

Thank you all so much for your love and support.

With love always,

A grieving mother
