Creating a Memorial Garden for Rapheal
On September 12th, 2024, our lives changed forever when we lost our beloved son Rapheal. He was a source of light and love in our family, known for his bright smile, compassionate heart, and love for nature. In his memory, we are raising funds to create a special place where his spirit can live on—a memorial garden that will honor the incredible person he was.

Why a Memorial Garden?

This garden will serve as a peaceful space where we, along with friends and family, can come to reflect, remember, and find comfort in the beauty of nature—just as Rapheal always did. We envision this space filled with his favorite flowers, a memorial bench, and a plaque commemorating his life. It will be a place to not only remember him but to celebrate the joy and love he brought into the world.

Our Vision

We want this memorial garden to reflect everything Rapheal loved—nature, serenity, and beauty. It will be a tranquil space where we can honor his memory and celebrate the special moments we shared with him. Our plans include:
• Beautiful Landscaping: A thoughtfully designed garden that offers peace and serenity to all who visit.
• Meaningful Plants & Flowers: His favorite flowers, plants and trees will be planted to reflect the beauty of his spirit.
• A Memorial Bench & Plaque: A space for quiet reflection, with a plaque in his memory.
• Ongoing Care & Maintenance: Ensuring this space remains beautiful and welcoming for years to come.
How Your Support Will Help
We are asking for your help to bring this vision to life. Your donations will go directly toward:
• Landscaping and garden design: To create the layout and foundation for this special space.
• Purchasing plants, flowers, and trees: To fill the garden with life and color.
• Memorial bench and plaque: A place to sit, reflect, and honor Rapheal
• Upkeep and maintenance: To ensure that this garden remains a lasting, beautiful tribute to him.

How You Can Help

We would be incredibly grateful for any support you can offer during this difficult time. Whether through a financial contribution or simply sharing this page with others, every bit of help brings us closer to creating a space where all who loved Rapheal can find peace and healing.
If you’re unable to contribute, we completely understand, but we would be grateful if you could share this fundraiser with others. Your generosity, support, and love mean the world to us.
Thank you for helping us create a lasting tribute to Rapheal where his memory will live on in the beauty and serenity of nature.
