My name is Akeriana Crews-Smith. I am 19 years old, and I am the oldest daughter of Kammi Ritchwood.

On February 8th, my mother was tragically taken from us due to domestic violence. She leaves behind four children who are now trying to navigate life without her love, protection, and guidance.

This loss has shattered our family. While we are grieving, we are also facing the overwhelming financial burden of giving my mom the proper funeral she deserves. My mother did not have life insurance, and we must raise $15,000 to cover her funeral and burial expenses before the 19th.

As the oldest, I am doing everything I can to stay strong for my younger siblings. But we cannot do this alone.

We are asking for your support, whether through a donation or by sharing this fundraiser, to help us honor my mother’s life and lay her to rest with dignity.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a difference.

Thank you for standing with our family during this unimaginable time.
