On May 18th, our family experienced an unimaginable loss. Our sister, Juanita Cyrenne, passed away suddenly, leaving behind her 16-year-old son, River.

River is now facing a world without his mom — his biggest supporter, his safe place, and his foundation. As he begins to navigate life without her, we are coming together to support him in every way we can.

This fundraiser will help us with some of the unexpected expenses that come with such a sudden loss, including immediate arrangements. However, the heart of this campaign is about River and his future. Our goal is to provide him with the stability, care, and opportunities he deserves as he rebuilds his life and moves forward in a way that honours his mother’s love and legacy.

Funds from this campaign will be managed by close family and set aside to support River’s needs — including his education, emotional well-being, and future stability. We are committed to using every contribution thoughtfully and in River’s best interest as he navigates life after this heartbreaking loss.

We are incredibly grateful for your kindness during this difficult time. Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to give financially, we ask that you keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.
