Cameron Lockett's Funeral Expense
Donation protected
This GoFundMe account was setup for Shaquilla Johnson to help with the burden of funeral expenses for her sweet baby boy, Cameron Deshun Lockett.
The Backstory
On October 23, 2018, Cameron Deshun Lockett entered this world. He was wanted. He was loved. But he was early. Too early. His mama was just 25 weeks pregnant with him when he was born prematurely at Ochsner/LSUHS in Shreveport, LA.
From day one, Cameron proved to be a warrior. He battled. He fought. Day after day. Defying science and defying medicine. For nine long months, Cameron strove. By his side were his mama, Shaquilla Johnson, his daddy, Sederrick Lockett, and his big sister, Janylah.
Sweet Cameron was the prince of the NICU. A favorite of all the nurses, respiratory therapists, residents and doctors, his smile was a ray of sunshine, brightening the day. This baby was LOVED!
On July 24th, 2019, our precious Cam went into the arms of Jesus. Free from tubes, oscillators, IV’s, our little warrior is safe; smiling and cooing in heaven.
The Aftermath
The average funeral cost in the US is around $7500. Not only has his family been under extreme duress while trying to keep their baby alive, not only has his family been devastated by his passing, but now they are incurring a huge financial stress while trying to grieve. This is an unspeakable and incredible hardship for anyone, but for the family of a 9 month old baby? It is too much of a burden.
Help us relieve their burden.
