Hi,

My name is Denisse Johnstone, and I’m starting this fundraiser to honor my beloved grandmother, Mercedes Moyano Nuñez, who passed away in 2023. She was born in 1944 in Chile and later moved to Sweden to help my parents take care of us grandchildren.

But she became much more than that. She was the woman who raised me — my guiding light throughout life. And when she became ill with lung fibrosis, I became her source of comfort, just as she had always been mine.

Today, my grandmother rests without a headstone. I want nothing more than to give her a dignified resting place — a place where we, her family and grandchildren, can visit, remember, and grieve.

The cost of the headstone is 16,700 SEK( (around 1 553 USD / 1 436 EUR). I’ve tried to raise the money within the family, but many of our relatives live in poverty in Chile and are sadly unable to contribute. That’s why I’m now turning to you — kind-hearted strangers — in the hope that together we can make this possible.

Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. And if you can’t give right now, sharing this fundraiser also means the world to me.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this — and for any support you’re able to give. ❤️
