Justice and Answers for Aaliyah

Donation protected

My name is Cindy, and I am raising funds to seek justice and answers for my granddaughter, Aaliyah, who tragically died by suicide in July. As her court-appointed guardian since she was a baby, I have been fighting to understand what happened and to honor her memory. The local police have refused to share information with me, providing only a heavily redacted report. Aaliyah was the victim of relentless bullying, with one individual telling her repeatedly to end her life. There are two separate cases connected to her death, including one involving a young man and possible child pornography, but authorities have yet to release any details.


Aaliyah was a beautiful young woman with dreams of becoming a doctor specializing in Neuroradiology. She was kind, intelligent, and full of hope for the future. Losing her has left an unimaginable void in my life, and I am determined to fight for the truth and for justice. Having a lawyer will help me access the reports and information the police won't share, and will give me the support I need to stand up to the police department. I want to bring awareness to the bullying and mental health crisis that affects so many families, and to honor Aaliyah's legacy by making sure her story is heard.


I am asking for your support to help me get the legal assistance I need, to find justice for Aaliyah, and to raise awareness about the urgent issues of bullying and mental health. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and help me in this fight. Thank you for reading my story and for standing with me.
