Annette Marie Lujano

Hello, My name is Clara and I'm raising money to help my friends Christian and Jenny bury their sister who unfortunately passed away on Christmas day. If you are lucky enough to cross Christian and Jenny's path you know that they are the most selfless, loving and caring humans and will literally give the shirt off their backs to whoever needs it. Today they need us. Please help me help them just as they have helped so many along the way. Below their story in their own words... may God bless you and your generous hearts!

-----------------------------------------

With a heavy heart our beautiful sister has gone to heaven unexpectedly Christmas Day. If we look at what this day means to us we think of Family, we think of happiness, life and the celebration of Jesus Christ birth. Unfortunately for our family in matter of minutes our Christmas became a day we never wish anyone to ever have to live through, the death of a relative. Our Sister Annette Marie Lujano, for the last year and a halve had been fighting to survive many life challenges medically. She was diagnosed with kidney failure in 2021 and on a trip to California to pay her respects on the loss of our nephew whose life was tragically taken at 26 years old she rapidly began to develop many medical conditions in matter of days. It all started with an immediate amputation of her toes to stop gangrene to spread to her foot and leg. 2021 was a true challenge for her, her children and husband not to mention our family in Texas as she had to make one of the hardest decisions in her life to move to California and leave those she loved the most to keep the treatments from her same medical providers that amputated with the hopes of having her leg saved. In the midst of all of this she was suffering kidney failure and was going under dialysis treatments. Earlier this year her life was altered as her fight to save her limb was lost. Her life changed after her leg amputation. She fought every day to try to strengthen herself spiritually, mentally and physically. Thankfully God strengthen her faith everyday and prepared her to receive her at her best. As Christmas week neared she wishes to travel to Texas to be with her family. We were all blessed to have had her home 2. Two beautiful days of laughter, of tears, of reminiscing on life. Two days of her loving, fighting, disagreeing to agree with family. Our normal seemed just right. Unfortunately while we were looking forward to celebrating Christmas together she suffered a Cardiac Arrest attack on Saturday. Due to her physical condition it was near impossible to perform CPR without adequate equipement. Her brain suffered over 25 minutes of loss of oxygen. Causing major damage. Her body was too weak to recover from this trauma and as much as every medical and her fought for her life she took her last breath December 25th.

We now are asking for your help to help us honor her wishes of being buried by her Father in California. At a young age and with so many all of a sudden medical complications it was difficult for her to be able to obtain any life insurances. Her life had been financially challenged before all of this and her children, husband and family are now left scrambling to figure all of the arrangements. From her transportation to California and to honor her last wish to be buried by her father. Your generosity will allow her children to give their mother the best send off ever and be able to cover any travel arrangements necessary to be by her side til the end. Anything extra will help them cover any debts left behind and be able to pursue a life a little lighter under these new circumstances.
