Help Us Lay Sha to Rest and Protect Her Innocent Children

LaDatra "Sha" Williams was the first blessed daughter, sister, aunt, niece, and cousin of her generation—a bright, gentle soul whose laughter lit every room. She was beloved by everyone who met her. Her warmth and kindness made her a light, and tragically, a target.

In the blackest shadows of Mississippi, Charles Sims posed as a Messiah, and Savior, while leading a cult that stretched from the Deep South to the Midwest, operating secret compounds and preying on the vulnerable. Sha was groomed, isolated, and coerced, stripped of her dignity and freedom. She bore four children under his control but was denied the right to truly mother them.

Yet her spirit endured.

At last, Sha found the courage to flee. She sought freedom and a safe future for her children.

But darkness does not let go easily.

Charles lured her back with false promises. Instead, he brutally murdered her and buried her in a shallow grave beneath ancient, silent trees.

Sha’s four innocent children—ages 2, 3, 5, and 7—are now left without their mother. The youngest has a heart condition, and all need urgent care and healing.

We are asking for your help so we can:

Sha's children are my grandchildren and I'll personally be managing the funds for the stated purposes.

These children are blameless. They deserve a future free from the shadows that took their mother.

Please help us honor Sha’s life and protect her children.

Every contribution helps move them toward safety, healing, and hope.

Thank you for your compassion, prayers, and support.
