My name is Shakesha.

I lost my husband on July 20. He died in our home, suddenly and unexpectedly. His passing happened one day before our youngest son’s 13th birthday.

We were not prepared.

There is no insurance, no savings, no safety net. Just me, my children, and what I can do now to move forward.

I need help.

Your support will help cover:

Cremation cost and memorial costs

Back-to-school expenses for my son

Basic needs for our family while I find stable work.

I’m doing everything I can, but I can’t do this part alone. If you can give, thank you. If you can share, thank you.

If you read this and paused for a moment, thank you. Please help us start again.
