We are reaching out on behalf of our dear friend Monica, who is navigating one of life's most painful chapters. Her beloved mother recently passed away after a month-long hospital stay, including three weeks in the ICU. Monica devoted every moment to being by her side. In choosing to care for her mom during those final weeks, Monica was unable to work—a decision made from love, but one that has left her facing overwhelming financial pressure at a time when she's already carrying the weight of profound grief. We are all in awe of the incredible care she showed her mother and how fiercely she advocated for her.

The funds raised will go directly toward funeral and memorial service expenses, any outstanding medical bills from her mother's hospital care, and easing the burden of daily expenses so Monica can focus on healing. This support will provide Monica with much-needed relief, allowing her to grieve, heal, and honor her mother's memory without the crushing worry of how to manage these costs.

Those who know Monica know what a loving, strong, and compassionate person she is. Now, it's our turn to show up for her. No contribution is too small. Whether you're able to donate or simply share this fundraiser with others, your compassion will make a meaningful difference during this heartbreaking time.

Thank you for helping us surround Monica with the love and support she so deeply deserves.
