Support a Beautiful Farewell for Grandma Millie

Donation protected

Hello, we are reaching out for support in helping our family give our beloved Grandma Maria Milagros Semidey (Ayala) the farewell she deserves. She was diagnosed with Cancer in September and, within a month, left us on October 25, 2024, leaving behind countless memories and a legacy of love, strength, and kindness. She touched so many lives, and we want to honor her with a beautiful service to celebrate all she gave to us.


Grandma was incredible and meant the world to our family and everyone she met. She gave selflessly, cared deeply, and strengthened our family with her love and wisdom. As her passing was so sudden, our family is struggling to cover the funeral costs, and we want to ensure that we can honor her memory in the way she deserves. She was the oldest of nine and left behind a brother to whom she was like a mother, her daughters, her grandchildren, whom she either raised or was a part of their lives, and great-grandchildren whom she was a part of. Not to mention, nieces, nephews, and friends became like family.


The funds raised will be used to cover the following expenses:

  • Funeral service costs
  • Memorial gathering for family and friends to celebrate her life
  • Burial costs and necessary arrangements
  • Any additional expenses for a tribute that truly reflects her life and spirit

Your contribution, no matter the size, will help us lay our Grandmother to rest with love and dignity. We can focus on remembering her legacy and keeping her spirit alive in our hearts by easing the financial burden.


Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any support you can provide, whether through a donation or by sharing this campaign, means the world to our family. We’re deeply grateful for any help in honoring her life and memory.
