Support Julie Ann Bernal's Final Journey

Hi, my name is Mackenzie, and I am Julie Ann Bernal’s daughter-in-law. I’m reaching out on behalf of our family as we navigate the heartbreaking loss of Julie. She was an incredible mother, sister, and friend whose world revolved around her two sons, Phillip and Santos. She had a heart full of love for those around her and always put her family first.

Julie dedicated her life to caring for others, both as a devoted mother and as a passionate child care worker. She had an undeniable gift for teaching and nurturing children, finding joy in helping them learn and grow. Beyond her work, she was a compassionate listener—always there for anyone who needed advice, support, or simply a kind ear. No matter what someone was going through, Julie made them feel heard and valued.

She also had a love for crafting, creating beauty with her hands, and she found peace and happiness near the ocean. She was a strong woman who always gave her best to those she loved.

We are raising funds to help cover the costs of Julie’s cremation and transportation to bring her back home. Since she passed away in another state, we are facing unexpected financial burdens. Below is a breakdown of the expenses:

Death Certificate: $33

Cremation Services: $799

Transportation to bring her home: $230

Transportation Fee: $862

Taxes & Fees: $79.38

Total: $2,003.38

Any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing this fundraiser, means the world to us. Every contribution helps us honor Julie’s memory and bring her home to rest where she belongs—with her loved ones.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this difficult time.
