My heart is broken as I share this. I suddenly lost my mother in a tragic car accident.

Her story is not an easy one. When I was just 5 years old, she went to prison for being around the wrong crowd. She paid her debt to society, served 12 long years with good behavior, and came home less than 2 years ago. I finally had my mom back in my life after so many years apart, and we were working on rebuilding what was taken from us.

In the short time she was free, life threw more pain our way. Earlier this year, in February, I lost my baby girl, Elariah Annalise. And now, just months later, I am faced with the unbearable loss of my mother.

She went through so much in such a short period of time, and she deserved more time with her family and a chance at the life she was trying to rebuild.

I’m asking for help to give her the proper farewell she deserves. Any donation, no matter how small, will help me cover funeral expenses and allow me to honor her memory the way she should be remembered.

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