Help Us Bring Tina Home to Liberia

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, love cannot change the outcome. But love can determine how we show up for one another in the aftermath.

Tina was a daughter, a mother, and a beloved member of the Levuma community in Liberia. When her mother reached out to us in desperation, asking for help getting her daughter medical treatment, we knew we had to do something.

Through the generosity of friends, supporters, and members of our extended community, we were able to help arrange Tina’s journey to Ghana, where she received treatment for advanced cancer.

We held on to hope. We prayed. We rallied resources. We believed that perhaps she would get another chance.

Sadly, Tina passed away in Ghana.

Now, we are asking for help with one final act of love: bringing Tina home to Liberia.

Her children, mother, family, friends, and community deserve the opportunity to say goodbye, lay her to rest, and have a place they can return to remember her.

The cost of transporting human remains internationally is significant, and her family should not have to navigate this burden alone while grieving.

We are raising funds to cover:

* International transportation of Tina’s remains from Ghana to Liberia.

* Required documentation and repatriation arrangements.

* Burial and related funeral expenses.

We know that not everyone can give, but everyone can help us spread the word.

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to getting Tina home.

At UPLIFT, we believe that community means showing up for one another, not only in moments of celebration and hope, but also in moments of unimaginable grief.

We were there when Tina needed a chance at treatment. Now, we want to be there to ensure she makes her final journey home.

Please help us bring Tina home.

May she rest in peace, and may her family find comfort in knowing that she is surrounded by the love of her community, even in her passing.

With gratitude,

UPLIFT – United People’s Learning Initiative for Tomorrow
