Dorothy LaShon Baines was the heart and foundation of our family. She was a kind, selfless, and loving woman who always put others before herself, making sure everyone around her felt cared for and supported. Her warmth, generosity, and beautiful spirit touched the lives of everyone who knew her. Our lives changed forever when Dorothy was tragically murdered in her Las Vegas home as a result of domestic violence, suffering a gunshot wound to the head. Like so many victims, she quietly carried burdens that those who loved her never fully knew about. She never told our family what she was experiencing, and we never imagined the danger she was facing. We now share her story in the hope that it raises awareness about the reality of domestic violence and reminds others that no one should have to suffer in silence. Her life was taken from us far too soon, leaving our family devastated as we struggle to process this unimaginable loss. 
<br />
<br />
 We are raising funds to help cover funeral and memorial expenses and the unexpected financial burdens our family now faces during this difficult time. Every donation, prayer, and share means more than words can express. Your kindness allows our family to focus on honoring Dorothy’s life, grieving together, and seeking justice in her memory.  Tiana Hill is one of Dorothy Baines’ daughters. She has always been the family member who responsibly handles financial matters and helps take care of important family responsibilities.

After the heartbreaking loss of her mother, Tiana was overwhelmed with grief and focused on making funeral arrangements and supporting our family during this difficult time. Because of this, I Jasiah Williams who is Tiana son stepped in on behalf of our family to create and manage this GoFundMe.

Jasiah started this fundraiser to help relieve the financial burden of Dorothy’s funeral and memorial expenses while his mother, Tiana, took the time she needed to grieve. Every donation will go toward honoring Dorothy’s life and covering the costs associated with her funeral and related expenses.Thank you for standing with our family and helping us remember an incredible woman whose love, generosity, and light will never be forgotten.
