Paola was best known for her well-documented story – fleeing her home country before applying for political asylum in the US.
The online star shared advice on settling in the US – inspiring families to work for a better life for their children.
She had 237,000 TikTok followers, mostly Latinos living in America, when she tragically died.
It comes after she bravely opened up about her cancer diagnosis last year.
She had been suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukaemia since mid 2024.
Despite courageously battling the disease for over a year, she died last week after contracting pneumonia.
Paola’s family have announced they will livestream her funeral on her TikTok page on October 2 and 3, so followers can join virtually.
They also asked fans to donate via Zelle to help cover funeral costs, estimated to be over £13,000.
The mum previously told fans how her personal move helped her eldest son, who suffers from an unspecified illness, as reported by NeedToKnow.
She said: “The treatment was available in California and I could afford it there.”
In an interview before her death, she said she appreciated the lifestyle and safety in the US the most.
Alongside her husband, she raised her two children to study hard and reach their full potential.
Meanwhile, Paola worked cleaning hotel rooms at the same time as creating content about her daily routines.
