Help us lay our brother to rest ❤️

Hi my name is Leila it hurts me to be sitting here even writing this right now but this is for my brother the sweet young man your looking at name is Anthony James Benjamin he just turned 18 February 26th he’s the oldest boy of 6 children he leaves behind me(Leila) the oldest my sister angel and his two brothers Andre and Alex, he is no longer suffering and is now in heaven with our sister Kaylese. On March 21st 2022 our beloved brother and son snuck out of the house and took his own life. Anthony was just excepted into the culinary institute of America he was getting ready to graduate high school and leave for college in New York in the fall we were all so happy and filled with joy for him as his life hasn’t been any easier than the rest of ours .Our family is broken and needs a lot of prayer at this time we ask for our privacy and respect from all of you as we are trying to figure out how to manage living our own lives now that Anthony has left us .we ask that you donate what ever you can to help us lay our brother to rest as soon as possible this was very unexpected so this is with a heavy heart to say we didn’t know he was hurting the way he was . Let this be a message to all of you that come across his story look closer into your loved ones ,check on the ones that always smile depression comes in so many forms it’s hard to tell sometimes when someone is battling it . If someone you know crosses your mind pick up the phone and call them ,don’t just think ACT life is too short to hesitate and over think anything .We loved our brother so deeply this still feels unreal we are are still in shock and disbelief over this tragedy we just want to heal and celebrate what time we did spend with him he was a beautiful person with a beautiful heart and he’ll live on in us forever this is not goodbye but a see you later. We love you Anthony. And thank you everyone for your love prayers and support.
