Elijah Boyd Medical and Funeral Expenses

Edit on March 29, 2023:

I have a new update yall but no set times as of yet. Elijah's earthly body was picked up from the crime lab and brought to Monticello yesterday evening. His visitation will be Friday evening and his going away to his Heavenly home service will Saturday morning. Potential charges have been filed against 2 people for negligence and involuntary manslaughter. Please keep the prayers coming and keep sharing this to help Elijah's dad out as he is carrying everything out and especially pray for Isiah, Elijah's 10 year old little brother. He told me that his best friend and brother died and his sweet little voice sounded so broken and sad.

Sweet Elijah gained his Heavenly 12 year old wings at noon on March 26, 2023 after drowning and being revived on March 24 during torrential rains that were widespread over Arkansas. Elijah will be laid to rest in Tillar where many of his family members are and his father will be also when his time comes. His funeral will be at Stephenson-Dearman Funeral Home Inc. in Monticello. All arrangements have not been made yet since Elijah is at the AR Crime Lab for additional investigation. Please help Albert any way you can to help relieve stress from medical bills, saying final "see ya laters" and burying Elijah All prayers are so greatly appreciated as Albert faces every parents greatest fear and lays his son to rest.

Please share this and feel free to copy the text above also. Every share helps!

Hi, my name is Kayla. I'm Elijah's cousin. Elijah turned 12 on February 14, 2023. His dad is my 2nd cousin.

Yesterday, March 24, 2023, 1 month and 10 days after his 12th birthday, Elijah was swept away in swift waters after a torrential rain in BeeBee, Arkansas. He was found stuck in a culvert 20+ minutes later.

He has had many life saving measures taken to try to save his life. They worked on him for 30 minutes on the ambulance on the way to the hospital. The hospital administered epinephrine and got his heart beat back and put him on life support. He was then transported to Children's Hospital in Little Rock, AR. He has electrodes all over his body, tubes going in everywhere possible, his blood pressure has been elevated and he has brain function tests scheduled for this evening. The MDs had a meeting with Elijah's immediate family and has given the worse outcome imaginable to any parent. They don't expect him to pull through but we aren't accepting that answer. We are praying for a miracle for his young life to be saved

In any event, this family needs our help with medical expenses and hopefully not but potentially funeral expenses, as no parent ever imagines having to bury their young child Please, let's come together and help ease their burden. Every single cent and dollar counts and EVERYTHING will go towards Elijah's medical bills, well being and possible funeral costs. This is a very tragic situation and anything donated, kinds words and prayers are deeply appreciated
