My name is Keyna, and I am raising funds for my beloved son, Keyvon Washington, who was tragically taken from us last weekend. Keyvon meant the world to me and his siblings. He was a bright light in our lives—always eager to help, full of energy, and passionate about the things he loved. From his days in Boy Scouts to his love for fishing, cooking, and riding dirt bikes, Keyvon embraced life with a joyful spirit and a strong work ethic. He recently completed Job Corps with a culinary degree, and he always encouraged his friends to succeed and make the most of their lives.

Last weekend, our lives changed forever when Keyvon was shot and killed by three masked men. The pain of losing him is unimaginable, and our family is struggling to come to terms with this loss. We want to honor Keyvon’s memory and give him the farewell he deserves, but the costs of funeral services, a reception, and cremation are overwhelming. We also hope to provide urns for his father and siblings, so each of us can keep a part of him close.

I am currently in between jobs, and the financial burden is more than I can manage alone. Any support you can offer—no matter the amount—will help us lay Keyvon to rest and bring some comfort to our grieving family. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and for keeping Keyvon in your thoughts.
