Today I lost my mother, Vartricia, and my whole world feels shattered. There are no words big enough to describe the pain of losing her. She was the woman who gave me life, loved me even when I felt unlovable, and carried so much strength in her spirit even when life was heavy. My mom was more than a parent to me. She was my heart, my comfort, and my safe place. Her voice could calm me, her hugs could steady me, and her love stayed with me through every storm. Losing her so suddenly has left me broken and grieving while trying to face something I never imagined having to do on my own: planning her funeral.
I want to lay my mother to rest with the love, respect, and peace she deserves. Right now, I am asking for help with the unexpected funeral costs because I cannot afford them by myself. The funds raised will go toward her funeral service, transportation, burial costs, and other related expenses needed to give her a proper farewell. Every donation, no matter the size, will help more than I can express. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also mean so much to me. Thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping me honor Vartricia with dignity and love.
