Donation protected

Edit: June 6th - The family would like to thank all of you. Thank you for your generosity and compassion over the past few days!  The family (Mom Nyota Bahati) intends to use the funds to help with Johns funeral arrangements and care for the family, as Mom is not working during this difficult time.

Edit: June 4th - I woke up and checked the Go Fund Me page, and instantly started crying. I’m so proud of this community!  In less than 24 hours, we are at 75% of initial goal of $10k! 

Thank you all so much!!

*******************************

On May 26th, down at our neighborhood lake, John had an accident and drown. John was placed on life support until yesterday, June 2nd, where the machine took his last breath for him. 

John was a 2nd grader at Longfellow Elementary School. John was so full of life and was always smiling! John befriended many kids here in our neighborhood.

Im hoping to raise money to help John’s family with expenses for his funeral, medical bills and help with Johns remaining 6 siblings.

Thank you!
