Funeral expenses for Mia Maro
Donation protected
On May 1st, 2022 Mia Maro was taken from her family in a tragic incident that no one should have to experience. Mia was a beautiful soul and the light of our lives. She was a 17yr old girl who had a thirst for life. Mia was an amazing daughter, niece, sister, granddaughter and the best friend anyone could encounter. Mia's mother was incapacitated 3 years ago forcing her to grow up too quick. She stepped in at the age of 15 and quickly became a primary part in her mother's care. Mia did so with love and patience. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Mia absolutely adored her.
Mia's life was tragically cut short leaving a hole in the hearts of those who loved her. We are heartbroken by the loss.
We are hoping to give Mia the services she deserves. Also due to the loss adjustments need to be made for the care of her mother and any other expenses that may arise as a result of this. We greatly appreciate any and all help. All funds raised will go to Mia's funeral and mother's care as well as any legal fees that may arise for Mia's mom and 2 brothers as a result of the tragic loss. All proceeds will be going directly to Linda Maro Mia's aunt and her moms caregiver. This fundraiser is being managed by Randa Almaru Mia's aunt.
