Hi, my name is Demi Bahamonde.
Nearly 19 years ago, my mother was taken from this world far too soon. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of her — her smile, her strength, her love. Losing her left a space in my life that can never truly be filled, but I’ve found comfort in keeping her memory alive through love, remembrance, and now, this small but meaningful tribute.
I’m raising $2,000 to adopt a memorial bench in Coney Island — a place where her name and spirit can live on. A peaceful spot where friends, family, and even strangers can sit, reflect, and feel the presence of a woman who meant so much to so many.
This bench will be more than just a seat — it will be a symbol of her life, her legacy, and the love that continues to surround her even in her absence.
If you feel called to help, I would be deeply grateful for any contribution — no matter the size. Even sharing this page helps more than you know. Thank you for supporting me in honoring my mother in a way that brings light and peace to a place touched by such deep pain.
