Hi, my name is Shalonte Maddox. I am the mother of Genesis Ojikutu. On March 21, 2025, my son and I went to get snacks for my nephew's birthday party. While leaving Marc’s supermarket, we were hit. My son was still in the shopping cart when it happened.

I thank everyone who sent prayers, came to visit us, and even checked on us. Everyone that wants to help in whatever way, I'm not really sure how to tell you all he's okay, but I do understand that you all want to be thoughtful and supportive of the situation.

Again, I thank everyone, and most of all, I thank God.
