We are so deeply moved to share that Yvonne—our fierce, unstoppable, deeply rooted matriarch—is back home. Not only is she home, but she’s eating again, regaining weight, and filling the room with the same spirit that has carried our family through generations.

Just weeks ago, she could hardly speak. She had to relearn how to swallow, how to talk—and we didn’t know if she’d make it home at all. But if you know Yvone, you know giving up was never on the table. Her fire, her willpower, and her work ethic could put most 20-year-olds to shame.

This transition is not a goodbye. It’s a transformation. A re-centering. And it’s sacred.

We’ve witnessed something extraordinary—Yvone’s healing, the unwavering love of her son Jon (who has cared for her daily while balancing marriage and his first child), and the powerful support from Brandon and Jordon, who have shown up again and again with strength and love.

We’re holding space not for grief, but for honor. For reflection. For joy in how far she’s come.

If you feel moved to continue supporting us, your donations will go toward nourishing meals, ongoing care, home supplies, and support for the family members making it all possible. Every bit helps us walk this path with presence and peace.

Thank you for helping us carry Yvone through this transition—not just with medicine, but with love. She’s been an inspiration to us all, and we hope her journey inspires you too.

With love and gratitude, The family
