Help Me Bring a Story of Love and Healing to Life

Hello friends, family, and kind supporters,

My name is Guillermo "Memo" Velasquez, and I am working on publishing my first children's book, a heartfelt story titled Forever In My Heart. This book was inspired by my own journey through grief and the hope to create something that could comfort and guide children dealing with loss. Through the book, I want to show young readers that while grief can be difficult, it’s also okay to feel and remember, and that love is something we carry with us forever.

Publishing this book has become a labor of love and a personal mission for me. However, as many independent authors know, the costs of editing, illustration, and marketing can be substantial. I am reaching out to my community to help me bring this project to life, so that children, especially those experiencing grief, can have a comforting story they can relate to and draw strength from.

How Your Support Will Help:

The funds raised here will go directly towards publishing expenses, including:

Professional editing and illustration to make the story as impactful and visually engaging as possible.

Design and printing costs to create a high-quality book.

Marketing and distribution to reach as many families and communities as possible.

Any amount you feel moved to give will make a difference and bring us one step closer to sharing this meaningful story with the world. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this campaign would mean so much to me.

Thank you for helping me make this dream a reality. With your support, we can give children a gentle reminder that, even in loss, there’s still love, hope, and healing.

With heartfelt thanks,

Memo Velasquez
