Hi, my name is Chanell Deaver, and with a heavy heart, I share the devastating news of the passing of my beloved mother, Kenya Russell. She was more than just a mother to me—she was my protector, my best friend, my greatest teacher, and the heart of our family.

Her passing has left a deep emptiness in our lives that can never be filled. She was kind, selfless, full of love, and always put others before herself. Whether it was with a warm hug, comforting words, or simply her presence—my mother made everything better. Now, in the midst of this unimaginable grief, we are left trying to honor her memory and give her the farewell she deserves.

I am reaching out to ask for your support during this time. The sudden loss of my mom has come with emotional and financial strain. Your donation will help cover:

Funeral and memorial service expenses

Travel and burial arrangements

Grief support and basic needs as we begin to rebuild

Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. And even if you can't give,sharing this campaign or sending love and prayers means so much to our family.

My mom, Kenya, was someone who showed love without condition. She stood by me and others through our hardest moments. Now it’s our turn to lift her up one last time.

Please help me honor the incredible life she lived. I want to celebrate her memory the way she deserves—full of grace, dignity, and surrounded by love.
