Miss Yesenia or Miss Yessi, as she is often called, is one of our teachers in our Buttercups class at our Bellevue location. Recently Yesenia lost her mother to COVID related pneumonia and her family is left heartbroken and grieving the loss of the matriarch of their family. As a community, we would like to rally around her and her family and pull together to show her our support. If you would like to donate to this fund, it will help her family with memorial/funeral related expenses. Below, Yesenia wrote a beautiful homage to her mother. 

It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of Carmen Galdamez. For those of you that knew her knew  she was a fighter and fought covid pneumonia until the very end. None of us thought it was the end and we hoped for a miracle. She passed peacefully and restfully and now is in a better place with God. She was 68 and was a very loving person. Everyone knew her as very friendly and sweet. She had a very big heart and loved helping others. She also had a sense of humor and her contagious laugh will be missed. Everyone in the community knew her. She was not only a mother, but a grandmother and a wife. Although she is not physically with us, we know that she is heaven watching over us as our guardian angel. She will truly be missed.

Thank you for your consideration in helping Yesenia and her family as they grieve the loss of their mother, wife and grandmother.
