Your local neighborhood military family

I'm Bri Robles and I'm starting this GoFundMe for our dear family friend Ava Khang and her 10 siblings whose mother, Youa Vue Khang, abruptly passed on 07/03/2023. Youa was able to come to the U.S. as a Vietnam War refugee in 1993 as a single mother with 3 small children by pure grit and competence, but her instinct to survive, persevere, and love, led her to remarry and bear 4 more children. Youa's whole life was dedicated to all her children, raising them with principles of diligence, obedience, and integrity. Youa's huge heart and practice of her life philosophies to be good and do good kept her very cautious and patient, but ultimately restrained. Like a beautiful bird in a cage, Youa was made a spectacle within her new marriage, but the cloud that kept her sunshine hidden held no comparison to the light she shone.

Youa continued to radiate beauty, patience, kindness, and love to all that surrounded her.

Despite all of Youa's life trials and tribulations, when her children were all adults and independent, she still had so much to live for with good health and stamina. Youa courageously resolved to leave her suppressing marriage to live with her children and was simply going to live her best life as a devoted mother and grandmother, and finally be able to reconnect with her siblings who had become estranged by her husband's control. She had an abundance of hope and happiness towards the end of her days when she was free before she was murdered. This alone makes her untimely death more devastating and unbearably tragic.

Please consider donating any amount you are able, to financially lessen the burden of the children survived by Youa, anything will help and be sincerely appreciated. Many friends, family, and community members have requested alternative forms of support for my friend's family. Although they were hesitant to accept, my friend permitted me to set up this account in support of this despairing time. If you are unable to donate, please keep Youa's family and children in your thoughts and prayers while they lay her to rest and grieve.

Thank you so much.
