Hi, my name is Braiden Cross and I am 18 years old. My younger sister, Daizy, is only 17. We also have a younger brother, Christopher Jones Jr., who is 12 years old. Our mother, Angel Whitaker, had been missing for a month until we recently received heartbreaking news about her case. Tragically, our mother was murdered in West Virginia by someone we thought we could trust. We are devastated and struggling to process this loss.

My siblings and I are all very young and we simply cannot afford the funeral expenses on our own. We are setting up this GoFundMe to help with funeral arrangements and to give our mother the proper goodbye she deserves, surrounded by her loved ones. If you are hesitant to donate through GoFundMe, you can also contribute directly to the funeral home once arrangements are made. We will keep everyone updated as best as we can.

Please keep our family in your hearts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. Any help, big or small, is deeply appreciated and will go directly toward honoring our mother’s memory. Thank you for your kindness and support.
