Donation protected
update: my beautiful grandmother has gained her wings. 11/3/24 @ 9:06pm.

Hello family and friends… even strangers who can help my family. My grandmother is 93 years old and has suffered with dementia and Alzheimer’s for a few years now. She is now at the end of her time here on Earth side she has lost memory on how to chew and swallow and now getting as comfortable as possible in hospice. My grandmother unfortunately did not have life insurance. My mom is her primary caretaker and just buried her husband in July and as a newly single mother is already struggling as is so she cannot afford these funeral expenses. My grandmother already has a burial spot next to her husband my grandfather as we come closer to the time that we have to arrange this funeral for my grandmother we are panicking. Within the last month my grandmother did a drastic decline. If our friends and family can please help us during this time it would mean the world to us. This is also a reminder to please please always have life insurance these circumstances happen way too often and we could only learn from this. Our family will appreciate any and all help during this time.

My grandmother, Gloria Santamaria raised my mom Gloria and raised her daughters Valentina, Daniela and myself (Francesca). She was the neighborhood caretaker if your children were in her presence she made sure they were safe and fed. She was feisty and sassy… sometimes being misunderstood but she had a heart of gold. When donating please share your memories with her we would love to hear them.

God bless everyone who can help and everyone who can just send us kind words and prayers.
