My name is Kimberly, and my siblings and I are raising funds for our brother, Anthony Tyrone Martin Jr., who was tragically killed in a mass shooting in Dallas, Texas, on Halloween night. Anthony was young, and his life and dreams were cut short by a senseless act of violence. My family is now facing the heartbreaking task of laying him to rest while grieving an unimaginable loss. Because Anthony did not have life insurance, we need help covering the costs of his funeral and burial.

This loss comes after so much pain for those of us who love him. We are still mourning the loss of our mother, Lawana, in 2023, and our oldest sibling, Brandon, in 2024. And this isn't the first time we have lost someone to gun violence, as we remember our cousin Keita. Now we are grieving Anthony, too. Any donation, no matter the size, will help ease the financial burden of funeral and burial expenses and allow us to focus on honoring Anthony’s life.

During this difficult time, we are asking for prayers, love, and support as our family comes together to honor his memory. Any donation, no matter how big or small, would mean so much to us. If you are unable to contribute, please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers and share this fundraiser.

My siblings, Ashley, Donavon, Patricia, and Cameron, and I are incredibly grateful for everyone who has reached out, offered their condolences, and shown our family so much love and kindness.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing beside us during this heartbreaking time.

With love,

Anthony's Family
