Title: Honoring Maria Luz Mendoza Hann: Help Bring Her Home to the Philippines, Provide Funeral Services & Alleviate Family Financial Burden

Story: On July 24th, 2024, our lives were shattered by the sudden loss of our mother, Maria Luz Mendoza Hann, to a devastating stroke. She was the cornerstone of our family, a selfless and loving mother who never stopped working to provide and protect her family. It is now our turn to try and provide for her the one final wish she had, which was to be laid to rest next to her beloved mother in the Philippines, where she spent her formative years, and to provide for her the services she deserves.

About Luz: Maria, who went by Luz to those closest to her, was a vibrant and beautiful person. She loved her career as an employee of Delta Air Lines, loved to travel, work alongside her son, Patrick (in the airlines), and spend time with her family and two other children, Princess and Paolo.

She fought a long and difficult battle in her short years of life, with health concerns and conditions that ultimately ended up taking her from us. She fiercely loved her family and children and did all she could to care for others and show resilience, determination and love everywhere she went.

The Financial Challenge: Navigating the aftermath of her sudden passing is not just emotionally daunting but financially overwhelming. The cost of transporting our mothers remains to the Philippines is substantial and beyond our immediate means alongside the costs that are piling up for the funeral and additional financial burdens from her passing are just becoming too much. The logistics involved in international repatriation are complex and add to our family’s burden during this already heartbreaking time. Anything anyone is willing or able to contribute is deeply appreciated and will not be forgotten.

How You Can Help: We are humbly asking for your support to fulfill our mother`s final wish and provide her the burial she deserves. Your donation will directly contribute to covering the expenses of transporting her body to the Philippines and ensuring that she receives the dignified farewell she deserves along with helping the family navigate the other financial stressors that have developed during this tragic time. Any amount you can spare will make a significant difference in easing our financial strain and honoring her memory.

Every Contribution Matters: Your kindness will not only help alleviate the financial stress but also enable us to focus on grieving and cherishing our mother`s legacy. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and compassion during this profoundly difficult time.

Thank You: From the depths of our hearts, we thank you for considering a donation to support our family in fulfilling her final wish and supporting us during this unimaginable time. We also thank all those who have shown support in any form during this difficult time. We love and appreciate you.
