On September 20th our family lost our sweet dog Kyra, who was more than a pet — she was family. For 12 years, Kyra was a constant source of love, protection, and comfort to me and my children. She was their emotional support animal, always by their side through good times and bad.

Her passing has been heartbreaking, especially for my children, who were denied the chance to say goodbye while in foster care. Now, I want to give Kyra the dignity she deserves with a proper cremation.

Unfortunately, the cost of cremation is more than I can manage on my own. I am reaching out to friends, family, and the community for help covering these expenses.

Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean the world to us. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign to help us give Kyra the respectful farewell she deserves.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers during this painful time.

With gratitude,

Tanicia Whiteley
