<div>Help Support Deedra’s Children After Her Sudden Passing
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On September 7th, 2025, our family experienced a devastating loss. My beloved sister, Deedra Cheatham, passed away suddenly and left behind her two beautiful children—Makayla (21) and Makai (9).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The heartbreaking events of that day are something her children will carry with them forever. Makayla, in shock and panic, tried desperately to wake her mother while calling 911 multiple times, only to be hung up on twice. On the third attempt, she was instructed to do chest compressions—something she didnt have experience with. Despite her instructions and efforts and the eventual arrival of paramedics over 20 minutes later, it was too late.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Deedra’s passing has left her children not only with deep emotional pain but also with an uncertain future. This tragedy was completely unexpected, and there was no financial preparation in place for such a loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, Makayla and Makai face a long road ahead. They will need support with basic living expenses, school needs, counseling, and long-term stability as they navigate life without their mother.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking for help from family, friends, and compassionate strangers who can step in during this unimaginable time. Your donations will go directly toward:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Immediate needs for Makai and Makayla
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Household and living expenses
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Educational support for Makai
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Grief counseling and emotional support
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Securing their future stability
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No amount is too small, and every act of kindness—whether it’s a donation or sharing this campaign—will make a difference in their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us carry this heavy burden and for giving Deedra’s children the chance to heal and rebuild.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Daniel Cheatham &amp; Family
