My mother, Maria De La Luz Pedraza, was a loving and caring presence in our lives. Her kindness touched everyone she met, and her memory will always be cherished by our family and friends. Sadly, she recently passed away, and we are now facing the difficult task of arranging her funeral and honoring her life in a way that reflects the love she gave to all of us.

We are raising funds to help cover the costs of her cremation and funeral services, as well as therapy for myself (Luis) as I navigate this loss. The expenses have been overwhelming, and your support would mean so much to our family during this time. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help us give Maria the farewell she deserves and provide the support needed to heal.

Thank you to our community, friends, and family who have reached out with so much love and care to us during this terrible time. Should you like to contribute to the arrangements for her funeral, your generosity is a blessing and we appreciate you. Any surplus after funeral expenses will be donated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. Your kindness and support bring comfort to our family, and we are deeply grateful for any help you can offer.
