This GoFundMe is being coordinated on behalf of Batina Newton, mother to Jaylen Smith.

Mothers are not supposed to bury their children. It goes against nature. When a mother loses her child, the world slips off its axis and spins out of control. The universe mourns knowing it has gone against the circle of life, children should bury their mothers, not the other way around.

Jaylen had a gentle soul and would do anything for anyone. He was a protective brother, nurturing son and committed friend. If you can find it in your heart to contribute to the cost of services it would greatly be appreciated.
