Rallying for Aliyana's Future

This campaign is dedicated to Aliyana Finau-Fifita, who tragically lost her mother, Antoinette Finau, in a devastating accident caused by a reckless drunk driver on May 5th, 2024.

Antoinette Finau, daughter of Manu Finau and Teri Gudino, grew up in Oakland, CA, where she attended Bishop O'Dowd and San Leandro High School, graduating in 2005.

She was a gifted athlete with a competitive spirit, excelling in basketball and softball. She was fiercely loyal, a value instilled in her from a young age, and her family was her greatest source of pride and joy. Her family instilled hard work, dedication and honesty, values she lived by. Her laugh was infectious and will never be forgotten. She was an extremely devoted mother determined to be the best role model for her younger cousins to look up to. She leaves behind her only daughter, Aliyana, 11 years old, turning 12 in June, they shared an unbreakable bond.

Every aspect of Antoinette's life was dedicated to her daughter's well-being and providing for her future. Although she worked long hours as a dispatcher, she thrived in supporting others during their most challenging times. With her sudden passing, we are rallying together to provide financial support for Aliyana's future.
