Help Us Bring Our Mother Home to Washington 🕊️

On August 19th, our beloved mother passed away, leaving behind a legacy of fierce love, resilience, and service. She found her purpose in Alcoholics Anonymous, where she not only reclaimed her life—but devoted it to helping others do the same. Through every meeting, every phone call, every quiet moment of support, she gave her heart to those walking the path of recovery.

But her love didn’t stop there. She devoted her life to her family—and adopted everyone as her own. Whether you were a neighbor, a newcomer, or someone simply in need of kindness, she welcomed you with open arms and made you feel like you belonged. Her home was a sanctuary, her heart a refuge.

Though she had little, she gave everything. Her generosity was unmatched, her wisdom a guiding light, and her spirit a force of healing for so many.

We are now raising funds to honor her final wish: to return to her home state of Washington, where she will be laid to rest among the roots that shaped her. Donations will go toward cremation, funeral costs, and transportation.

If you ever felt her warmth, her wisdom, or her unwavering support, we invite you to help us carry her home.
