Help Us Give Madeline Rodriguez a Dignified Farewell

Donation protected
Hello Family and Friends,

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we must announce the passing of our mother, Madeline Angelie Rodriguez. After a courageous 20-year battle with Scleroderma, an auto-immune disease, she left us on July 21, 2024.

Mama was a pillar of strength, loyalty and compassion in our lives. Her passing leaves many broken hearts, including:
Her mother and step-father, Jeanette & Hector, who took care of her as her Scleroderma ran its course.
Her children, Nakia and Sincere, who were her constant motivation to fight through some of the worst pains everyday.
Her grandparents, Maria, Angel, & Monse, who gave her a lifetime of warmth and care.
Her tribe of siblings and loved ones, Chino, Fred, Josh, Joe, Nena, Sasha, Jackie, and her many nieces and nephews who filled her life with laughter and companionship.

Mama was someone you couldn’t help but love eternally and all we want is to give her the beautiful and dignified memorial service that she deserves.

We need to raise $6,800 by August 5, 2024 for her memorial service. Additionally, we need $3,600 to bury her urn with her father. In the wake of her passing we are facing our own financial uncertainty. Mama was a significant source of support for our family, both emotionally and financially. Your contributions will help us cover essential living expenses, such as rent, utilities, groceries, and other immediate needs as we adjust to our lives without her.

So, from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for reading our story, donating to our family, and most importantly, loving our Mama.

Love,
Madeline’s Angels
