Support Kenneth's Family After Tragic Loss

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Denika, and I’m creating this GoFundMe on behalf of my close friend and sister, who is going through an unimaginable tragedy. On Sunday night, her 15-year-old son, Kenneth Smith, was tragically taken from us due to senseless gun violence.

Kenneth was a good kid — full of life, respectful, and loved by many. He had dreams, a bright future ahead, and a heart that touched everyone around him. His life was cut far too short, and now his family is left not only grieving, but facing the heartbreaking responsibility of planning a funeral for their baby.

We are asking for your support — anything you can give will go toward funeral expenses, memorial arrangements, and giving Kenneth the homegoing he deserves. No mother should have to bury her child, especially not under these circumstances.

Please donate if you can, and share this campaign with others. Every dollar, every prayer, and every share matters. Thank you for your love and support during this devastating time.

Rest in peace, Kenneth. You will never be forgotten. ️
