Help Our Family After the Loss of My Sister and Niece

Yesterday, our world was shattered. My younger sister, Shanelle, and our beloved niece, Amanii, were in a terrible car accident. Tragically, both of them passed away due to complications from their injuries. My older sister, Kayla, and her son, Amarii, were also in the car and are both still fighting for their lives in the ICU on life support.

There are truly no words to describe the pain our family is feeling right now. Shanelle was the heart of our family — full of love, laughter, and strength. She cared deeply for everyone around her and always showed up when you needed her most. Amanii was such a bright light — sweet, funny, and full of life. Losing them both has left a hole in our hearts.

As we try to process this unimaginable loss while praying for healing for those still fighting, we’re asking for help to cover funeral expenses, medical costs, and to support the family with counseling through the difficult days ahead. Any donation, big or small, will mean more than words can express.

Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. We are holding on to faith and the love and kindness of others to get us through this heartbreaking time.

With love and gratitude,
The Aviles Family
