Education Fund for Irene's Three Young Children
Donation protected
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our dear friend, Irene. She passed on Sunday, November 8th, 2020, at the age of 35 years, after a year-long battle with metastatic breast cancer. Irene left behind her loving husband, Daniel, and their three beautiful children: Erik (6 years old), Evan (4 years old), and Emma (1-year old). We are all heartbroken by her passing. Our hearts especially ache thinking about the impact of her loss on their three young children.
Irene meant the world to us. She was a loving wife, sister, daughter, as well as a dedicated mother and a treasured friend. Her life would seem too short for many, but those who were touched by her understand that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time which one lives. Her warm embrace and caring heart brought so much joy to those around her, even when times were tough. Irene made friends everywhere she went and was loved by so many.
Irene's dedication to her three young children and their education has inspired all of us, she showed us through action the power of a mother's love. In her final year battling cancer, her blog documenting her fight against cancer also touched us dearly. She was courageous, wise, and generous with sharing her struggle despite the terrible physical discomfort she was enduring. She inspired both her close friends and people she did not know to live healthier, more fulfilling, and more courageous lives. By sharing her journey, she taught us that each life moment matters, so make it count. We will miss her forever and will be forever grateful to her.
We know that the road ahead for Daniel and the three children will be extremely challenging, we also know one of the most important things to Irene is her three young children's care and education. Thus, we want to do everything that we can to support them. This fund-raising effort seeks to help alleviate Daniel from some of the present and future financial childcare burden and educational expenses associated with raising three children alone.
Thank you for coming together to support Daniel and their three children. We hope that we can come together to lift some of the burdens off of Daniel's shoulders in the coming years and honor Irene’s beautifully lived life.
Thank you,
From all the people that love Irene
謝謝每一位讀到這篇文字的你，相信 Irene 一定會說，祝福每一個有緣人都平安健康。
我們帶著沉痛的心，籌備著這個募款頁面。就在2020年11月8號，年僅35歲、我們最親愛的 Irene，在與乳癌奮戰將近一年後，離開了我們，留下她體貼的丈夫 Daniel 以及三個活潑、可愛的孩子 – Erik (6歲)、Evan (3歲)、 Emma (1歲)。
Irene 除了是個好女兒、好姐姐、好妻子、以及盡心盡力的好母親，更是大家生命裡的珍貴好友。在這看似短暫的35年歲月裡，Irene 以善良及勇敢走過了精彩燦爛的人生。喜歡用文字紀錄的她，藉著真誠的筆觸，在部落格與大家分享著生活的點滴及感動。她散發出的光芒，帶給我們無數的歡笑也溫暖了身處各地的我們。當朋友遇到艱難時，她總是會關懷與鼓勵我們，陪伴我們走過生命中大大小小難關。在罹癌後的日子裡，Irene 仍開朗地結識新朋友，她接收許多關愛的同時，也持續地給予各地朋友支持。
與癌症奮鬥的這一年，即便身體有著各種疼痛與不適，Irene 依然持續紀錄著，希望透過文字將這段經歷傳遞出去，幫助更多人。不論是與她熟識的我們或是部落格的朋友，都因她字字句句中的勇氣而感動。直到生命的最後一刻，她都堅強地寫下對生命可貴的感悟。Irene 留給我們的是對生活的熱愛、對生命價值的體認及啟發。她期盼身邊所有朋友，都能珍惜生命，活出充實、勇敢的人生。我們謝謝 Irene 留下的愛與一個堅毅靈魂的典範。
接下來的日子裡，Irene 的丈夫 Daniel 以及三位年幼即失去母親的孩子將面臨非常嚴峻的挑戰。我們真心企盼這筆籌募的資金，能協助 Daniel 一家未來的單親育兒重擔，讓三位幼小的孩子可以健康平安地長大，並且以此緬懷 Irene 的璀璨人生。
不勝感激
深愛 Irene 的朋友們 謹上
