Help Yendi Heal and Care for Aiden
Donation protected
On April 20th, 2025, Yendi Oates—an incredible mother, gifted vocalist, and beloved member of the South Florida music community—was involved in a serious car accident that left her with a fractured lower spine and a broken ankle. She was hospitalized for two days and is now at home beginning a long and difficult recovery.
Yendi is not just an extraordinary performer—she’s a devoted single mom to her 5-year-old son, Aiden, and someone who pours every ounce of her energy into her family and her music. Known as one of the most sought-after cover band vocalists in South Florida, Yendi has touched countless lives through her talent and spirit.
Right now, she’s facing significant challenges. Unable to work due to her injuries, Yendi is dealing with mounting medical bills, the loss of her vehicle, and daily home expenses—all while trying to heal and continue caring for her son.
We’re asking for your help to lift some of this heavy burden. Every donation will go directly toward:
Medical and hospital bills
Replacing her totaled vehicle
Covering rent, utilities, and other essential living expenses during recovery
If you’ve ever seen Yendi perform, laughed with her, or been moved by her voice—you know how special she is. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign to help Yendi and Aiden get through this incredibly difficult time.
Thank you for your kindness, love, and support.
P.S. In lieu of donating here, you can also join us on May 9th, 2025 at Fishtales on 33rd in Fort Lauderdale for a fundraiser where ALL monies from entry and tickets will be donated directly to our dearest Yendi. Prizes include travel accommodations, dinner at local eateries, a flat screen tv, mani/pedi certificates and much more.
