Help Me Give My Mom a Permanent Headstone

I'm still trying to find the words to ask for help getting my mom a headstone. Donna Montoya wasn't just someone I loved, even with the rough patches. She was my mom. She gave me life, and now I'm learning how to keep living without her.

On February 2nd, she was gone. What started as a medical emergency became the news no son ever wants to hear: endometrial cancer. She entered hospice and passed quickly. I didn't find out until six days later. For nearly a week, my mother was gone from this world and I didn't know. That silence is something I'll carry forever: the things I never got to say, the conversations we never had, the chance to tell her one more time that I love her.

I can't bring her back. What I can do is give her a permanent place that says she was here, she lived, and she was deeply loved. I'm raising money for the remaining funeral costs and a headstone so her name is never forgotten.

Thank you for standing with me as I honor my mom. Your support would mean so much.
