Help us lay Sidanii to rest after an accident overseas

Dear Friends, Family,

I am writing with a heavy heart to inform you of the sudden and devastating passing of my son, Sidanii A. Bell, a native virgin islander, and his beloved mother, Daniela C. Bailey. They lost their lives in a tragic car accident over the 4th of July weekend while overseas in South Africa. Sidanii and Daniela traveled to South Africa to visit his children, ages 2 and 3 and were looking forward to creating precious memories with them. This tragic event has changed us forever!

As a family, we face the surmounting cost of bringing Sidanii home. Unfortunately, as this occurred in South Africa, the documentation needed to place an insurance claim is not readily available. As a result, it has created an incredible hardship for the family, and we humbly ask for financial assistance in bringing our loved one home.

Sidanii was an extraordinary individual who lived life to the fullest. Sidanii dedicated himself to teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), inspiring countless students with his passion for education. Outside the classroom, Sidanii was an avid MMA enthusiast and participated in tournaments, showcasing his love for the sport and his dedication to pushing his limits. Sidanii recently started his own digital marketing firm while working as a personal fitness trainer. Those who know Sidanii will remember him as the life of the party, always bringing joy and laughter wherever he went. His fun-loving spirit and zest for life were infectious, and he had an uncanny ability to uplift those around him. Sidanii’s mother was his rock, and their bond was unbreakable. Their loss leaves an immeasurable void in our hearts and lives.

Many of you have reached out to ask how you can assist us during this incredibly challenging time. In response, we have created this GoFundMe account to provide a safe and secure place for individuals to donate.

Regardless of size, every contribution will make a difference during this difficult period. We appreciate your kindness, generosity, and prayers as we navigate through this heartbreaking loss.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Sidney A. Bell and Family
