hello friends family and even strangers. my name is ciara casado, daughter of the most beautiful woman to step on his earth. my mom, jennifer casado. for years my mother suffered with illness that are undefinable. but that never stopped her from being one of the most kindest and thoughtful people i have ever met. it didn’t stop her from getting up everyday and pushing herself to be there for her kids, friends that turned into the family she never had, and even people she would just pass on the street to say hello. until one day it did stop her. november 11th 2024 i spent my day in the hospital begging my mom to stay. she had always been in and out of the hospital but this one felt different. around 6:30pm peace finally entered my moms body and her battle ended. and from this a whole new battle has started for me. a lot of sad and even traumatizing things have happened to me after my moms passing. but i haven’t let that stop me. I took on the role of the funeral with help from many, finalizing everything for my moms financial aspects and more. but most of all i took on the role of making my mommy proud every single day. now if you knew my mom you know she HATED asking for help.. with anything. i’ve been very hesitant to make this and exploiting my life so much but the day my mom passed everyone told me if i needed help reach out and they would be there for me. so i’m saying now.. i need help. i got quoted around 5,000 for my moms headstone that i would like to make beautiful like she did for my yaya. filled with a sketched beach scene, purple lavender and one butterfly to resemble my yaya. i’ve tried to step up and take this role on because sadly i have no one’s help. people who should be with me planning told me “you can do it by urself”. it hurt but i won’t let it stop me. i feel helpless that i will never be able to help my mom with anything anymore as that was my biggest role in life for her. this is the last thing i’ll be able to do for my mom and i would be so grateful to have the headstone process begin before i leave for college in august, so hopefully when i come back never summer i can see a beautiful piece for a beautiful woman. and when we all go to visit this beautiful stone, we can remember that’s it’s not just me who has helped her look complete but it is a little piece of each of you. anything and everything will help me so much and if we raise more than needed i would love to donate the remaining funds to “NAMI”. which is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization. they are dedicated to improving the lives of millions of americans affected by mental illness. thank you for taking the time to read my story. and if you can donate as little as a dollar you’re more than a blessing to me.
