Donations for Bryant’s Funeral & children.

Donation protected
Hello. My name is Jessica and on October 6th, 2021 I got a call everyone prays they never get. My fiance/ children’s father had unexpectedly passed away.

Bryant was a father of 5 beautiful children who are ages 2-12. Unfortunately my younger children will not have the memories of him besides what we tell them & my older girls are deeply mourning thinking about promises of learning to drive a car, taking them on vacation and more.

Bryant was a hard working man. He would work 50-60 hours a week trying to make sure his children had everything they needed. Not only was he a great provider he was one of the most amazing fathers I ever met. I mean he truly loved his children to the core & was a true role model & parent. They are ALL daddies children and they are devastated. They keep asking when is daddy going home. Where is daddy. It’s breaking me.

As for me. That was the love of my life & the man I had planned on spending the rest of my life with through thick n thin. He would have went to the ends of the earth to make me happy & he truly loved me whole heartedly. I never thought I would experience losing the love of my life at the age of 27.

His mother’s & siblings are morning the loss of him passing at such a young age. His family has taken in me and my children and welcomed us with open arms so that I am not alone because I have never been alone in parenting our children. They are truly my blessing at this time and they have been nothing short of SELFLESS during this time.

What will expenses go towards?

1. A proper funeral so that my children can see their father one last time. They need this. We ALL need this. That is our number one priority. Expenses will NOT be touched until his funeral is paid for.

2. His mother & family financial support to stay home & help my grieving children and for them to have some time to be able to grieve themselves. We have a long road of recovery for everyone.

3. Relocating to a new place for me & my children. I can not be in our home. I can not walk around & see the memories spiraling around me in my head & neither can my children. My older girls can’t handle going to the home at all & the younger kids ask where is daddy every time I pull up to the house. I can’t live this way. I can’t live in that house with my children and be the parent they need me to be. It engulfs me.

Bryant was the bread winner of our family. Always has been. He didn’t have life insurance. We talked about getting it a lot but we thought we had more time. We didn’t realize we would have him taken from us so soon. Bryant would have never wanted to leave me & our children in this situation & he always did the best to make sure that we were very well taken care of. Unfortunately we didn’t have much in savings because he had to take a leave of work for a few months & he had just started working a new job two weeks ago as a kitchen manager which he absolutely loved & was so proud of.

If you can not donate PLEASE take the time to share. You never know which person you might share to that are able to help & want to.

Thank you to everyone who has given us all the love and support through the circumstances & we absolutely have felt all the love!!! We need it! We need all the love & words of encouragement as we raise these 5 children up to know who their dad was and how much he loved them!
