On April 4th, 2022, the Fredericks/Emmons family suffered the devastating loss of their beloved 13-year-old son and brother, Kenehsaeh (Kuh nay suh), their baby, the light of their world, took his life in their family home. This extremely tragic event is a triple loss for the family because in addition to deeply grieving Kenehsaeh, the family is too traumatized to return to their home and must find short-term/mid-term housing, plus a location for Sharon's business which she runs from home. The family is making arrangements to pack up their belongings and put the house on the market and are currently staying at a local hotel. Sharon and Tami have devoted themselves to parenting, nurturing, and supporting all 8 of their children, three of whom live at home with them; a high school senior and 2 adult children with disabilities.

This gofundme page is raising funds to support the financial needs this family will have as they find temporary housing, including hotel, relocation expenses, and expenses related to re-establishing Sharon's business. They will also need professional support as they grieve, process and heal from this unimaginable tragedy. Please consider donating and sharing this information to help alleviate some of the financial stress during this challenging time.
