Help Jessie and Family Through Tragic Loss

Donation protected


On December 23rd, our world was shattered when we received the devastating news that my 11-month-old niece, Zendaya, had been rushed to the hospital and was unresponsive. What began as a terrifying but hopeful situation quickly turned to heartbreaking reality. Over the course of a week, we faced the unthinkable—medical professionals questioned whether Zendaya had any brain activity, and ultimately, we were informed that our sweet girl had passed away.

After fighting for as long as she could, my sister Jessie had to face the unimaginable: that Zendaya was no longer with us. On December 28th, our precious baby girl earned her wings and took her place on her throne in heaven.

This loss is new to us, and we are still trying to process everything. We have never experienced such grief and have been struggling to understand what happened. In addition to this unbearable pain, Jessie is left to care for her two other children, who are also grieving the loss of their little sister.

We are reaching out to our community for support. Any donation, big or small, will help ease the financial burden of funeral expenses and assist with whatever needs my niece and nephew may have as they cope with this tragedy.

Please consider donating to help us through this difficult time. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean the world to us. Thank you.
