She:kon | Aanii | Greetings

My name is Tekarihwayenhne Bomberry and I am the aunt of Ratorlatha Bomberry (English name Matt), we are Mohawk Nation from Six Nations, Ontario Canada. Matt is and has been currently living at Grassy Narrows Anishinaabe First Nation where his partner Yvonne (Eve) Fobister is from. They have 5 children. However, Eve's oldest child is Tianna, who is Matt's step-daughter, is only 11 years old and fighting for her life at London Ontario's Health Sciences Victoria Hospital for a suicide attempt May 14th, 2016. It had been a planned suicide pact between Tianna and 4 other youth. Tianna went first, and thank God the others got scared and ran for help. Tianna and her mom Eve were flown to London Hospital where she was on life support.

Grassy Narrows is a northern reservation, approximately 1.5 hours north of Kenora Ontario, and is currently declaring a state of emergency over suicides. Tianna and her friends were grieving the loss of their dear friend they lost last month.

I made this page to help Eve and her family financially while she is in London Hospital (and when she gets transfered to Thunder Bay Hospital later on) at Tianna's side. Matt is in Grassy Narrows with the rest of their children, and some of Eve's family are travelling to be with her. My sister, Margaret, Matt's mom, lives 2hours away from London in Brantford (I live in Hamilton Ont). The closest family for Eve in this area. The money would go to Eve and her family that has travelled to London for the 20-hour ride. The money would help off-set costs of motel accommodations, travel expenses from Grassy Narrows as well as travel to and from the hospital in London and where they are staying, loss of wages, food expenses etc. It will help them out greatly and alleviate any financial burdens so they can concentrate and put all their energy toward Tianna's recovery.

I'd like to thank you all in advance for reading, caring and donating anything you are able to. If you are unable to donate, you can still help by keeping Tianna and her family in your prayers and to please forward and share this page. Also please keep the community of Grassy Narrows in your prayers, pray for the families affected and especially our youth. Prayers for the other communities going through the same tragedies, like Attawapiskat and Neskantaga First Nations, who have also declared state of emergencies.
