Greetings Everyone, My name is Sechita and Everyone knows me as Shay White. I am coming to ask for help with the expenses of my one and only little lady. Sha-Derika Monay Weldon. She transitioned peacefully yesterday morning at home with me and her little brothers Elias 14, Derrick 5 and Malachi 4. Monay was a light in our family of boys that God brought together via foster care May of 2022. The boys grew to love her over the last two years she’s was apart of our family. We traveled all over the county, visited landmarks, colleges and Universities. I truly poured into her what every young person should have. She attended Sunday School at Our Lady Of Lourdes Catholic Church, was a member of the Midtown High School & Mays High School Community. She enjoyed volunteering with the IATSE 479 Back to School Bash, and she looked forward to being apart of the Midtown High a school Theatre production this season. Monay as she would like to be called, was an advocate for those disabled. She would always say “When I get older I want to work with kids who are like me as well as work with homeless people”. Monay was an active member of the Atlanta Thrive organization to ouch for change within the Atlanta Public Schools community as a student. Her transitioning to the spirit realm has hit our household, our neighbors our community hard and more importantly her family hard. Monay’s loving and bubbly spirit will forever be remembered. From Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, California, North Carolina, South Carolina her had an impact out my friends, family and coworkers.

She could always been seen at my union meetings hanging out in the lobby to being my roll dog when I would do Uber deliveries. Last week she attended her very first premiere of a movie with celebrities where she walked the carpet and took photos. Her passing is certainly untimely and shocking. As a single mother of now three, I need help coving the costs associated with her homegoing services. The funeral will be held September 11th, 2024 at Christ Tabernacle Charlotte NC 321 Tom Hunter Rd Charlotte, NC at 11 am for her services and burial in the same cemetery where her biological family is already laid to rest. Any and all funds to assist me would be greatly appreciated. I will be taking my children and myself into counseling in which we definitely need help as my health insurance C4 will be cut off as I can not afford the premiums. Now that I have the funeral expenses and I have not worked since her passing and I need every bit of help to pay September’s rent and for food for the boys and I. I can not afford to cover it plus all the bills associated with preparation for my and the three boys. Worst feeling is to see how my youngest sons father has refused to assist even down to stop paying all support especially at a time like this and my family has been of no emotional support during such a hard time. But God is amazing because within my community of friends from all over they are doing their best to help us.

Thank you all for every single thing. And please if anything is learned from my current experience make sure you hug your babies.
