Erika Diarte-Carr, a single mother of two from Utah, passed away on Friday after a courageous two-year battle with terminal cancer.
Diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2022, Erika faced additional challenges with Cushing Syndrome, which led to severe health issues. In September, she received a life expectancy of just three months.
Faced with planning her own funeral and providing for her children, Erika started a GoFundMe page to seek financial support. Her fundraising efforts have exceeded $1 million.
With the funds raised, Erika planned a memorable family trip and established a trust fund to ensure the financial well-being of her children. She expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support that will leave a lasting impact on their lives.
