Maria's Legacy of Light: A Tribute to Her Spirit

My name is Nkatha and Maria Nduati was not just a dear friend to me; she was a true soul sister, someone who filled my life with joy, laughter, and endless inspiration. From our sunrise bike rides to our heart-to-heart conversations over coffee, Maria had a way of bringing light and love into every moment. Her adventurous spirit, her passion for life, and her deep kindness left an indelible mark on everyone she met. As we gather to honor her memory, I want to ensure that we celebrate her life in a way that truly reflects the vibrant, loving person she was.

I’m reaching out to all of you, on behalf of Maria's Memorial organizing committee, to help raise funds for Maria’s memorial service. We want to give her a beautiful and heartfelt farewell, one that mirrors the love and warmth she shared with us all.

Your support will help cover her medical expenses in Kenya and ensure that her memorial, both in Kenya and Pasadena, is a true reflection of the incredible life she led. This is our opportunity to come together, to share our memories, and to honor Maria in a way that she would have cherished. Your generosity means the world during this difficult time, and together, we can create a special tribute to the amazing person Maria was.

The funds raised will be used to cover Maria’s outstanding medical expenses, ensuring that her final chapter is handled with the care and dignity she deserves. Additionally, these contributions will help cover the costs associated with organizing a beautiful and meaningful memorial service, including the venue, floral arrangements, and other elements that will allow us to honor her life.

All incoming donations from all sources will be tallied and the wider community community informed on how these funds are being allocated, ensuring full transparency as we work together to give Maria the heartfelt tribute she deserves.

Thank you for your generous contributions and we look forward to seeing you all at Maria's Legacy of Light: A Tribute to Her Spirit.

Yours sincerely. Maria's friend.
