There are no words that can fully capture who Stephanie was to me. She was my partner, my best friend, my safe place, and the person who made even ordinary moments feel meaningful. She faced challenges with a strength and grace that inspired everyone around her, but more than anything, she lived with incredible love. That love continues to shape my life every day.

In Stephanie's honor, I am raising money for Susan G. Komen to support breast cancer research, patient care, education, and advocacy. While I cannot change what happened to us, I can help support efforts that bring hope, resources, and better outcomes to others facing this disease.

This fundraiser is not only about raising money. It is about remembering Stephanie. It is about honoring the life she lived, the kindness she shared, and the countless people whose lives were brighter because she was in them.

If Stephanie touched your life, I invite you to celebrate her memory with me. If breast cancer has impacted someone you love, I invite you to stand with us. Every donation, no matter the size, helps make a difference.

Thank you for helping me honor Stephanie's legacy and for keeping her memory alive through compassion, hope, and action.

With love and gratitude,

Maria
