Maria Rita Cortez

Hello friends, I am asking all my friends and family to take a minute to read this. My good friend Liliana has recently lost her mother in a medical battle. In the recent her father also passed, then her aunt followed, now her dear mother who I’ve personally met & grew to love. This is not common of me to reach out for financial help, but this here touches my heart so deeply & I’m hoping you all can feel my love and loss for my dear friend. I’m not asking for much but perhaps whatever you can spare so that their family can present their deserving mother of a proper funeral however they need. Plz help donate whatever little you can, it’s all appreciated. Thank you ahead.
