<div>Dear family, friends  and kind-hearted strangers,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are reaching out during an incredibly difficult time for our family, as we seek support for Journey. Journey has faced unimaginable loss over the past few years. In addition to the recent passing of his beloved mother, Sharlene Edwards who passed away unexpectedly November 24, 2024 leaving a heartache that is beyond words, Journey also lost his father on March 31, 2021. These tragic events have left him navigating not only the overwhelming grief of losing both parents, but also the emotional and financial challenges that come with such profound loss. Journey is a bright 12 year old boy and determined young person, but the loss of both parents leave him facing not only emotional challenges but financial ones as well.

<div>In the midst of this hardship, Journey is determined to continue his education in order to pursue both his and his mother’s future dreams of attending Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. His mother worked hard to support him every step of the way. Now, without her, we want to ensure he has the resources to move forward and create the future she would have wanted for him.

</div>

<div>This GoFundMe campaign is dedicated to helping fund Journey's college education—something his mother had hoped for him and something he is deeply committed to achieving. The financial burden left behind by this unexpected tragedy is immense, and any amount you can contribute will help ease the path ahead for Journey. Your support will not only help cover future tuition costs but also books, supplies, and living expenses, giving him the stability he needs to focus on his studies and honor his mother’s memory.

</div>

<div>No contribution is too small, and every donation will make a significant difference in helping him pursue his dreams. Even if you're unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing this campaign with others. Your support, whether through a donation or a kind word, means more than we can express.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us lift up Journey in this time of need.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude,

</div>

<div>Sharif, Jacqueline and Leilani Edwards
