Meet the Founder

When I was 22, my dad passed away suddenly. Left with immense grief, my siblings and I had to plan and pay for a simple cremation because we couldn't afford a traditional funeral. He was a single father for most of my life and this experience left us feeling that we hadn't given him the farewell he truly deserved.

Over the years, I witnessed friends and acquaintances lose loved ones, and I constantly told myself, "I should be doing more." Buying flowers felt insufficient, but I didn't know how else to help. This personal experience inspired me to create GiveWillow - A platform designed to prevent others from facing the same hardships my family did.
