Help Us Honor Simera Ladson's Beautiful Life

Help Us Honor Simera Ladson’s Life

It is with unimaginable sorrow that we share the sudden and heartbreaking loss of our beloved sister and bestfriend Simera Ladson, who passed away unexpectedly at just 23 years old. There are no words to express the grief we are experiencing. Simera was more than a friend—she was family. A once-in-a-lifetime kind of soul—radiant, bold, and full of life. Her vibrant personality, infectious laughter, and deeply caring heart made her a light in the lives of everyone who knew her.

Simera was an advocate, a listener, and a constant source of support to those around her. Whether you needed advice, a shoulder to cry on, or just someone to make you laugh, she was always there. She loved fiercely and lived fully, touching so many.

Losing Simera has left a hole in our hearts that can never be filled. No one was prepared for this. We are shattered, and yet, we want to honor her in the way she deserves—with a memorial service full of love, memories, and the kind of beauty she brought into this world every day.

Simera endured more loss in her life than most could imagine. She already faced the loss of her mother and a sibling—unthinkable grief that she met with strength and grace. Now, she leaves behind her only remaining sibling, who is left to face yet another devastating loss. As you can imagine this comes with an insurmountable financial load. Without financial means to cover funeral expenses or organize a proper burial, they are facing an impossible situation during the most devastating time of their life. We are asking for help to raise $18,000 to cover the cost of her memorial and to assist with transportation so that loved ones can come together to say goodbye.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will help us remember Simera in a way that reflects the beauty, love, and light she brought into the world. And if you cannot give, please consider sharing this with others who may be able to. Thank you for loving Simera with us. She was truly one of a kind, and we will carry her light in our hearts forever.

Thank you for your support during this difficult time.

With love,

Tiffany, Chantel, Shaadai, Lin, Rickia, and Aaliyah.
