Hi everyone,

I’m sharing this on behalf of my dear friend, Monique (Moni), who is experiencing an unimaginable loss during the holiday season. Anyone who knows Moni knows she is one of the most kind and caring people you could ever meet. She is a source of strength for her family, the friend who would give you the shirt off her back, and someone whose spirit truly lights up every room she walks into. Moni has worked incredibly hard to build a beautiful life and is always there for the people she loves.

Moni’s significant other was suddenly hospitalized this past week and, after days of uncertainty and heartbreak, he sadly passed away. This loss was completely unexpected and has turned her world upside down during an already emotionally difficult time.

As she begins to grieve, Moni is also facing a significant financial burden related to final arrangements and everyday living costs. No one should have to navigate this kind of stress while mourning someone they love.

We are asking for support to help ease some of that burden so Moni can focus on healing. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Moni in your thoughts means just as much.

Thank you for surrounding Moni with love, compassion, and support during this incredibly hard time.
