Milwaukee Family Tragedy

My name is Krystal, and I'm raising these funds for my great aunt Jackie; to help her lay my cousins, Khalilah Brister and Tyrielle Jefferson, to rest after they were found in Northridge Lake.

Tyrielle was one of my littlest cousins and my absolute best friend. She was sassy, and smart, and silly, and super sweet, and maybe just the tiniest bit smug--like I said, she was SMART. She was so unbelievably special; a star with a shine that just couldn't be dulled. She was only 7 and probably the boldest person I had ever met, and now so few people will have the honor of saying they had the privilege.

Khalilah had the most endearing giggle and a smile that could just make your heart melt, but she was also troubled. We didn't realize how troubled until it was much too late. Both grandmothers spent hours going back and forth with the police in an attempt to find and save them and, somehow, it all ended in tragedy.

The families are devestated and there is a great deal of blame going around, but I'm hoping this will make it less difficult for everyone. I know nothing will truly make this easier for any of us, but it will be one less worry.

We are waiting for official reports, but there are several services being planned and we are in need of funds. Absolutely anything could help.

And, if you know anyone who may be in need of counseling or therapy, help them now and not later. Don't ignore the signs.
