Support Keisha Kootswatewa Family After Their Tragic Loss

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Yolanda Bydonie. I had shared my sister Keisha Kootswatewa story of her disappearance in April of 2022. I now am sharing an update on my sister Keisha Kootwatewa story from her disappearance on March 26, 2022, from Teesto, Az on the Navajo Nation Reservation. For 3 years our families' efforts in finding and searching for her has come to an end. Remains have been found in October of 2024 and for another long year our family waited for DNA confirmation and that day came in October 2025. The grief and pain are emotionally exhausting. The 4 perpetrators are now in custody for her death. As heartbroken as we are and our hopes of finding her alive is devastating to our family and her 3 children. We now face another emotional toll to get JUSTICE for Keisha.
Our family needs your help in raising money to JUSTICE!! that will go towards court attendance that will be held in Phoenix, Az. How will funds be used? It will be used for food, gas and hotel/ Airbnb stays. Our travels consist of 5 hours of driving to seek justice for Keisha. Anything you can do will be truly appreciated. I have left Keisha story below when I started the GoFundMe in "findingkeisha". Thank you for your kindness and support.





Keisha was taken from a home she was living at the time. She tried to escape her abductors and was forcibly taken by gunpoint. She's a mother to 3 beautiful children. Our family struggles in finding help from the lack of resources available on our Hopi Native American land. Our Justice system is complicated due to jurisdiction and are unable to cross over to Navajo lands. Our search covers miles of land. So, I'm starting this GoFundMe to help with our family search in finding my sister. The money donated will be used to help feed and water volunteers, the gas that will be used for our vehicles and quads and flyers and any form of awareness advertisement and looking into advertising on a billboard. The Reward that will go towards any information to her disappearance. Or family will be doing a search each month until we can no longer search with the winter months approaching. The search for finding Keisha is not going to be easy and the Justice we want to achieve on our Reservation will be complicated. With any amount you're willing to contribute will be so greatly appreciated. Please share with your family, friends and community. Help our family in "FINDING KEISHA". we can only pray, wait, and hope. Thank you
