Hi everyone, my brother Alex and myself Joana, are reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your help during this incredibly difficult time.

Our Mom, Sally, was a kind and caring person who lived a humble and simple life. She never asked for anything, even when she may have needed it especially during this time when she was sick. She raised five children, had 11 grandkids and sacrificed so much of herself so we could have better lives. She was a hard worker all her life — always putting her family first.

Sally loved tending to her roses and being outside enjoying Mother Nature — it brought her so much peace and joy. She loved spending time with her family. dancing to her favorite music and read whenever she had a quiet moment to herself and of course she loved her slot machines.

We just celebrated her 60th birthday this past February, and she was so happy to have her whole family together. Her passing was sudden and has left us devastated and unprepared for the costs that come with laying her to rest.

I wish we had more time with her — it was too soon. But we will continue to carry her memory with us and remember her in all the beautiful ways she touched our lives.

We are asking for help to raise $20,000 to cover funeral expenses and give our mom the peaceful farewell she truly deserves. Any amount helps, and even if you can’t give, please share this with others who might be able to help.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping us honor of our mom’s memory.

With gratitude,

Joana and Alex
