Dear Friends and Family,

It is with a heavy heart that I write to tell you that our dear Dailyn Jerome Ford 18 years old died on June 18, 2025. It is a very painful moment for our family right now, after the lost of his older brother unexpectedly in October 2024. Here we are 8 months later trying to arrange for another funeral.

I’m creating this fundraiser on the behalf of his mother Kiyana Ford to help ease the unexpected financial burden she now faces. The costs associated with losing a child—combined with the loss of income as she has not been able to work—have added stress to an already overwhelming period of grief.

Kiyana is a dedicated mother and a kind-hearted woman. Right now, she needs our support more than ever. If you are able to donate, any amount will help lighten the load she is carrying after the loss of a second child. Your generosity will allow Kiyana the time and space she needs to mourn her sons without the added worry of financial strain.

We want to give Dailyn Ford a respectful service that celebrates who he was and how much he was loved.

It’s never easy to ask for help, but in times like this, community and compassion can make a world of difference. Thank you for your support, your kindness, and your prayers.
