Help Shiraj Heal: Support His Recovery & Medical Costs

Story

On June 4th, 16-year-old Shiraj was shot in broad daylight in Lauderhill, Florida, along with his 17-year-old best friend. He was struck in a major artery in his leg and had to be rushed to the hospital in critical condition. By a miracle, both boys survived — but Shiraj is now facing multiple surgeries, a long and painful recovery, and months of physical therapy. His mother, Tiara Higgs, has had to stop working to be by her son’s side full-time. As Shiraj recovers from surgery and prepares for physical therapy and follow-up care, the family is facing mounting medical expenses, loss of income, and day-to-day costs that are becoming overwhelming. We are raising funds to help Tiara and Shiraj through this unimaginable time. Your support will go toward: • Medical bills and rehabilitation • Transportation to and from medical appointments • Basic living expenses while Tiara is unable to work • Emotional and psychological support services Tiara is a loving and dedicated mother doing everything she can to stay strong for her son. Any contribution — no matter how small — will make a huge difference in helping them rebuild and heal. All donations will go directly to Tiara Higgs to support Shiraj’s care and recovery. Shiraj is the son of the late Shyan, aka Poochie, who passed away in 2015. His memory lives through Shiraj and his siblings, and this fundraiser is a reflection of the love that still surrounds all of his children today. Please donate, share, and keep them in your thoughts. Thank you for standing with this family in their time of need.
