We’re raising money to help Lisa travel to Tucson, Arizona, to attend her mother Norma’s funeral on the 20th of Nov.

Norma was a devout Catholic and a mother of eight. After so many years of raising a family, she was finally settling into a chapter of life that was supposed to be just for her and Manny, a chance to slow down and enjoy their time together.

Then came a goodbye no one was ready for.

Lisa needs to be there to say goodbye to her mom and be with her family.

The plan is to leave on the 17th and return on the 21st, but the expenses add up quickly: airfare or a rental car, lodging, food, fuel if driving, and the wages she’ll lose while she’s away.

Our $2,000 goal won’t cover everything, but it will take a real weight off her shoulders. We want her to be able to focus on her family and honoring her mother, rather than worrying about how to afford the trip.

If you’re able to contribute, any amount will help. If you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean a lot, too.

Thank you for helping Lisa get home to her family for this difficult goodbye.
