Shayne Hambakachere was taken from us in a sudden and tragic act of violence. No family should have to face a loss like this, let alone the emotional and financial weight that follows.

We are raising funds to support Shayne’s family during this devastating time. The money will go towards funeral costs and to help ease the immediate burden on his loved ones as they try to process the unimaginable.

Shayne was loved, valued and did not deserve this. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a real difference. If you cannot donate, please share this page so we can reach as many people as possible.

We also pray that God brings comfort, strength and hope to Shayne’s family and friends during this painful time. Shayne will be deeply missed.

Thank you for standing with Shayne’s family.
