My name is Rozina, I am Samir’s aunt and I am writing with a heart that is completely shattered.

On the early morning of April 26, 2026, our beloved Samir was taken from us far too soon—just weeks before his 18th birthday. Samir was not only a son, but a proud big brother, the oldest of three, who meant the world to his younger brother Akeem and his little sister Amira.

Samir had so much life ahead of him. His loss has left an emptiness in our family that words cannot truly capture.

We are asking for support during this unimaginable time to help his family lay him to rest with dignity and care. The funds raised will go toward funeral expenses and to allow his family the time they need to grieve without the immediate burden of financial strain.

Any contribution, no matter how small, will help ease the weight on a family enduring the unthinkable. If you are unable to give, sharing this page would mean so much to us.

Thank you for keeping Samir in your thoughts and prayers.

With love and gratitude,

Rozina

*UPDATE* Thank you everyone for everybody’s generosity. Any additional funds not allocated to funeral and expenses will go towards Sadaqah Jariyah in Samir’s name. 

Sadaqah Jariya is continuous charity that provides ongoing benefits to others and rewards the giver even after death. Examples include building a well, planting a tree, or sharing knowledge. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and keep Samir in yours.
