In loving memory of my mother, Deborah,and our family's home

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Theresa Linnette Walker-Brenks, daughter of Deborah Jeane Walker, my mother, who recently passed away on October 28, 2024. She was a beautiful, loving, selfless woman. What she wanted was to have her cremated.

The plan was to give my mother her proper burial with the inheritance that my brother and I would receive when she passes. Unfortunately, at one of the toughest times of my life, my sibling, Thomas Mylo Valenzuela, is nowhere to be found. He took a trip to Mexico, and he has not returned. Therefore, I have to file a missing person's report for him along with handling my mother's burial. In need of his presence to receive these funds, he is missing. I am devastated with both these happenings and unprepared for the high cost of the cremation. I am also dealing with having to pay next month's rent for our apartment by myself because, due to the passing of my mother, her bank account froze and last month's check for rent bounced.

I am left with no help, losing the only two loved ones I had for support. At this moment, I am reaching out to my family and friends for help. I'm hoping and praying that I can reach the goal of $7000 by 12/13/2024. I would really appreciate all who are able and willing to help so I can honor my mother's memory, hopefully find my brother, and be able to remain in the apartment and not get put out on the streets with nothing. Thank you all.
