Help Kenyae Lay His Beloved 13-Year-Old Daughter to Rest

12/18/2012 – 1/29/2026 ️

It is with unimaginable heartbreak that we are asking for help on behalf of Kenyae Mackey, a loving and devoted father in Riverside, California, who tragically lost his precious daughter, Joylen Reign Mackey, on January 29, 2026.

No parent ever expects to bury their child.
No parent is prepared for this kind of loss.
And no family should have to face overwhelming grief and financial hardship at the same time.

Joylen was only 13 years old. She had her entire life ahead of her. Her passing has left her father devastated—trying to process the loss of his baby girl while facing the unimaginable reality of planning funeral and burial arrangements he never thought he would need for his child.

Like many parents, Kenyae only had life insurance on himself, believing he was protecting his family from financial burden later in life—never imagining he would need it for a loved one at such a young age.

Right now, he is doing everything he can just to hold himself together. The emotional weight is heavy, and the financial burden of laying Joylen to rest is overwhelming. Funeral and burial costs can reach $6,000–$10,000 or more, and he cannot cover this alone.

This fundraiser is being organized by friends and community members who love Kenyae and want to step in during the darkest moment of his life.

✨ All donations will go directly toward:
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Final arrangements to honor Joylen with dignity and love
• Relieving financial stress so Kenyae can grieve without added fear

If you are unable to donate, please share this fundraiser. Sharing truly helps more than you may realize.

Kenyae is a devoted father who loved Joylen fiercely. Right now, he needs his community to wrap around him and help him carry this burden.

Thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support during this heartbreaking time.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18

Please—love on your babies just a little extra. ️
