Funeral & Care Fund for Shaniqua Kinnard’s Six Children

Donation protected
On July 11, 2025, our family experienced a tragedy we never could have imagined. Our beloved Shaniqua Kinnard, a mother of six beautiful children, was murdered in her home while her children were present. Her body was discovered by her own kids.

No child should ever have to witness something like this. No family should ever have to plan a funeral while also figuring out how to raise six children suddenly left without their mother.

Shaniqua was not just a victim of violence—she was a loving, devoted mother. She worked hard, cared for her children, and did everything she could to protect them. Her life was stolen, and her children’s world has been shattered. They will never be the same.

We are raising funds to:
-Give Shaniqua the funeral and memorial she deserves
-Provide immediate care and support for her six children, ages 13 years to 9 months old
-Help cover counseling and trauma therapy to help them heal from this unimaginable experience.
-Assist with daily needs like food, clothing, housing, and school supplies
Build a fund for their long-term care, stability, and education

Our family members have stepped in to care for the children so the kids can stay safe and surrounded by love. But we cannot do this alone. It truly takes a village.

If you are able to donate, any amount will help. If you can’t donate right now, please consider sharing this page and keeping our family in your prayers.

We are committed to giving these children love, support, and the chance to heal—but we need your help to make that possible.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
The Family of Shaniqua Kinnard
