Bring Shelly Dato Home to California for Her Burial
Our Story
Dear family, friends, and community,
It is with a heavy heart that I share the devastating news of the passing of my beloved mother, Shelly Dato, in Portland, Oregon.
As we navigate this profound loss, our immediate priority is to bring her home. Our goal is to have her body safely transported from Oregon to California so that we can give her the proper, respectful burial she deserves, surrounded by the family and friends who love her.
Cross-state transportation and funeral arrangements are incredibly costly, and we cannot do this alone. We are raising funds to directly cover:
The Oregon funeral home ship-out services and transit permits
Transportation and airline cargo fees from Portland to California
The receiving funeral home fees in California
Casket, burial plot, and funeral service costs
Every single dollar raised will go directly toward these expenses to bring my mom home. If you are able to contribute, our family would be eternally grateful. If you cannot donate at this time, please consider sharing this page with others to help us spread the word.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, prayers, and support during this unimaginably difficult time.
